Sparky Anderson

Pink is the New Blog Everybody's Business Is My Business: "Sad news to pass along to baseball fans today … the iconic Detroit Tigers manager George Lee Sparky Anderson passed away today in his home in Thousand Oaks, CA at the age of 76. Yesterday his family revealed that Sparky was receiving hospice care due to his advancing dementia and, very sadly, he died today. It’s impossible to convey how important Sparky Anderson is to Detroit and baseball fans as a whole. We are all poorer for his loss today."

I was forced to listen to Tiger baseball for 16 years going to and from my cabin in Tawas from Flint. Although I hate baseball, I still love Gibby and Sparky, 1984 and 1985 World Series Detroit Tigers.

Go Tigers!
