Charlie Manuel spent 9 years of his life giving us everything he had. He is the winningest coach in Philadelphia Phillies history. In 2008, he helped give this city something that we wanted more than anything. He never lied to us. He never turned his back on a fan that saw him on the street. I believe that creating a city holiday in Mr. Manuel's honor is the perfect way to demonstrate our gratitude. Thank you for your time. Go Phillies.
