Link: Ashley Fox: Why doesn\’t Rollins get Manuel\’s rules? | Philadelphia Inquirer | 07/25/2008.
NEW YORK – Charlie Manuel has two rules. Two. Hustle, and be on time.
You don\’t have to be an MVP or an all-star, a Gold Glove winner or a home-run king. You don\’t have to put the seat down, or chew with your mouth closed, or say \”excuse me\” when you spit. All you have to do to be a member in good standing on Manuel\’s Philadelphia Phillies is hustle and be on time.
In about seven weeks, Jimmy Rollins has broken both rules. First, he didn\’t hustle.
