Sadly, today baseball lost yet another ledgend, Sparky Anderson. The only manager to win the World Series in both leagues. He was a great coach and a great person. He will be missed!! I grew up watching him coach the Reds in the 70's then on to the Tigers. They don't make coaches like him anymore.

RIP Sparky

Wow, haven't heard that name in awhile. I grew up in Cinci and vividly remember the glory days of the Big Red Machine.

I am an avid baseball fan. Used to go to Riverfront stadium and watch the "Big Red Machine"
An awesome baseball team. Sparky Anderson lived not far from me here in SoCal, I saw him around the area a few times.
He was a true lover of baseball.

He was a great personality. I heard that he suffered from Dementia at the end. Horrible end for anyone, but especially to sharp witty minds like his. :'(

A true baseball man through and through and somewhat of a character to boot. As a Red Sox, I remember Sparky well from both the epic 1975 World Series and his years at the helm of the Tigers. He will be missed.

RIP Sparky Anderson!
