When I coached high school and college baseball in the 1970's, I used Sparky Anderson's advice on putting together a batting lineup. I still believe it is the best way to get the most effective lineup. Ah, the memories of such a fine manager and man!
Wow, that news makes me feel empty š
Godspeed Sparky, you were a class act and you will be missed by millions! Modern managers, break out the old videos. If you do it like he did it you can restore the game to its former greatness....
John, I know exactly what you mean, you said it well. Bless his heart, he will be sorely missed and I feel so sad.
RIP Sparky! Thanks for the '84 World Series Championship!!!! God Bless!!
Sparky Anderson was a baseball legend with a common mans personality. Never to big to shake a hand, sign an autograph, or just talk baseball. Beloved in Cincinnati, known throughout the world, a man who will be missed.
God Speed Sparky
Hey George:
It's been almost 63 years ago when we first played ball against each other in the Rancho Park leagues and then again in High School. Followed your career even as an announcer. I guess you became what you always wanted to be and you made Baseball proud of you. Good-bye Sparky, rest in peace.
You bet he was a good guy!!
Thanks for signing my baseball at spring training when I was a kid. Unlike most players/managers, I remember that you always stayed until every last kid had their autograph.
You're a legend that will be missed.
Bye, Sparky! You are greatly missed by baseball fans everywhere.
Hero's are always remembered,But legends never die....RIP ole Sparky

Sparky, you always respected our kids questions at the Lakeland Holiday Inn back in the 70's and 80's when we canadians holidayed there. You invited our kids to games; gave them caps which, as adults, they have in their homes today. We always knew, our lives stopped, when Sparky was on the patio. He was a professional yes, but he was also human. Our sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
Wow. I'm an Orioles fan but playing the Tigers was always a treat. Especially when Earl Weaver was coaching. RIP Sparky.
RIP spark you will be miss and thanks for the memories........
RIP Sparky, still miss you in Cincy. You were the best manager ever! and always a gentleman when we met.
