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.
