IATTBYB Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 RIP Sparky. This news, although not unexpected, still makes me very sad. 1984 was a great year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Inside of Outside Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 He managed some great teams. When I was a kid, my brother named his hamster Sparky after him (mine was Freddy, after a certain Red Sox centerfielder). Needless to say, October, 1975 was a contentious time in our house. Sparky and Earl Weaver and Billy Martin were old school characters. Sparky will be missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The High Heat Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Quotes from "Captain Hook" • "Problem with [John] Wockenfuss getting on base is that it takes three doubles to score him." • "If I hear Bowie Kuhn say just once more he's doing something for the betterment of baseball, I'm going to throw up." • "Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings." I've missed Sparky Anderson being away from the game since the day he retired. The good old days of baseball and personality are quickly leaving us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
