Now, you can take this one with a grain of salt, this is hearsay

at its finest. A source, who is rather connected, said Charlie Manuel attended

dinner with Tommy Lasorda in New York the night before Game 1 of the WORLD

SERIES. According to source, who was in

attendance, Charlie remained out late (1:30am, really Charlie?) and got very

drunk.

Fair enough.

Here’s where it becomes the thing legends are made of. When my source said, "Charlie, don't you

have a game in like 16 hours?", Charlie replied "Fuck it. I have Lee

pitching".
