RIP Sparky Anderson

Run into some old friends from another group or board? Want to do a little schmoozing, talk over old times? Or just some off topic stuff, then this is the place.

Anderson, who directed the Big Red Machine to back-to-back championships and won another in Detroit, died Thursday from complications of dementia in Thousand Oaks, Calif. He was 76. A day earlier, his family said he'd been placed in hospice care.


I always thought he was a good manager. I remember being happy to see him upset in 1987 in the ALCS :)

RIP to one of the truly great managers of the game, and one of the great people in baseball history.
