I wonder if he is going to be able to manage without any problems. I'm no expert but I know some strokes cause memory loss. Will Dusty be able to function at full capacity if he's suffered memory loss. Even his biggest supporters will agree that he manages more on instinct than relying on the data at hand. If this stroke is going to give him problems with his memory, I think the Reds will have to find a new manager.
From reading the article, while the word "stroke" always sounds serious, it appears that it was taken care of immediately and that a full recovery is expected. It doesn't sound like the level of stroke that evokes memory loss due to loss of brain functions.
