CLEARWATER, FLA.–New Philadelphia Phillies manager and Baseball Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg is shown here on February 15, 2013 hitting grounders on the half field adjacent to Bright House Field.

It’s strange that Charlie Manuel is out as Phillies skipper and Ryne Sandberg is named interim manager looking at these photos when the two worked so closely together this year.
