R.I.P. Sparky Anderson.

He'd want to be part of this important thread too.

I just realized that you are not kidding about Sparky

Let's just change this to the Sparky Anderson thread.

When I was a wee lad in San Diego in the 1960's. The Pacific Coast (Minor League) Padres played at Westgate Park.
For a few years they were the farm team for The Cincinnati Reds. I remember watching some of the player that were part of the Big Red Machine. Tony Perez, Chico Ruiz, and Tommy Helms come to mind, and others whose names escape me now. I also played, with and advised the shortstop from the '84 Detroit Tigers That Sparky won the whole shooting match with.
He was one of the really good guys.
RIP Sparky
