RIP Sparky Anderson

[Mr. Scot]

My favorite baseball manager as a kid

[Jangler]

Died due to complications from dementia, I guess if there is a way to go, go not knowing.

RIP

[Starscream]

Sparky was THE MAN!

[Mattiekrome]

Wow, sad. He's one of the names I always remembered from my old baseball card collecting days.

[Mr. Scot]

Sparky had a rule that he was the only one ever saddled with the job of telling a guy he'd been cut. He never pawned it off on anyone else.

RIP Sparky. Never got to experience him, but he seemed like a great man.

[Mr. Scot]

Got to meet Sparky, Joe Morgan, Johnny Bench, Tom Seaver and Pete Rose (among others) on a trip to Cincinnati the year the went to the World Series against the Red Sox.

Those were the days for baseball.

He was a Met when the Reds played the Red Sox's in the world series

Seaver was a Met not a Red

Reds/Red Sox was 1975, Tom Terrific did play for the Reds for 6 years but two years after that World Series. Old guys like me and Mr. Scot may have gotten the years wrong or Seaver may have been in Cincy on other business.

I've had the pleasure in the last couple years to play with Sparky in his annual CLU tournament at Moorpark Country Club, great man. And of the guys you mentioned there Mr. Scot, he spoke very highly of Joe Morgan and his entire family.

Well I was going off of what you said. That he wasnt a Red player. You really need to type out in full what you are thinking.
