Charlie Manuel has a chance to become the second former foreign player in Japanese baseball to manage a major league team to a World Series victory.

His Philadelphia Phillies are in the National League Championship Series and, if the Phils can beat the Los Angeles Dodgers four times, we'll see what Manuel can do against the Tampa Bay Rays or Boston Red Sox.

Davey Johnson played for the Yomiuri Giants in 1975-76, and as manager led the New York Mets to a win over the Red Sox in the 1986 Fall Classic.
