Jerry Manuel has a Doppelganger, though he likely would not be flattered by the comparison.
From Wiki: Dr. Hassan 'Abd Allah al-Turabi (الدكتور حسن عبد الله الترابي al-Duktūr Ḥassan 'Abd Allah at-Turābī in Arabic), commonly called Hassan al-Turabi (sometimes transliterated Hassan al-Tourabi) (حسن الترابي) (born c.1932), is a religious and Islamist political leader in Sudan, who may have been instrumental in institutionalizing sharia in the northern part of the country. He has been called a "longtime hard-line ideological leader."
The two men could swap places and it might benefit both organizations.
Jerry could bring his calm personality to a fiery situation, and Al-Turabi could bring his ideology to the Mets, where it would be summarily ignored so these guys could keep playing baseball.
If nothing else we would never see a sacrifice bunt again.

Just curious what is al-Turabi' bullpen philosophy?
Use them until they die, then they get a bunch of virgins and stuff.
Really enjoying this Mets blog. I am a Yankees fan over at BBI, but this place really keep me informed of Mets news, and I thank you.
Thanks Daniel.
I'm very pleased that so many Yankee fans and other BBI members find the blog useful.
Keep up the great work communicating here....you seem like a fine upstanding young man, and yes, I have the info on you, which means your attempts at masking are laughable at best.
Thanks Dave.
The main reason I prefer this blog is that there is no grandstanding.
It's good baseball talk, pretty funny, and an interesting point of view.
