Manuel is one of the best in the business. Not sure why you would make fun of him. Have you read his life story? It's pretty inspiring.

The guy was a 4 sport superstar in HS and probably would have been in the NBA but his preacher father committed suicide while ill. His suicide note asked for Charlie to take care of his mother and family of 11 kids. So he took a baseball contract and immediate money instead of his dream to play basketball.

He played in the major leagues for several years but then went to Japan and set numerous records over there for more than a decade. He was going to smash the HR record at the time (which Japanese people didn't want an American to do) so a pitcher beaned him in the jaw that broke it in 6 places. There were no bone left in his jaw so they had to insert metal plates in his head and removed facial nerves. He came back in the same season against the advice of doctors and he won the HR title and led his team to the pennant. He was the MVP of the league that year, a first for an American. The next year he dominated again but he left the team for a few days to attend his sons graduation. Japanese fans gave him a lot of flack for this and he never won any award again.

I'm a Cleveland fan and Manuel came to the club and helped the team's hitting and a division title. Great guy.

Manuel has survived a heart attack, quadruple bypass surgery and cancer to go along with no jaw. Maybe you can sound better under the same circumstances???
