Sparky Anderson In Hospice Care.
76 years old and suffering from Dementia (Alzheimers I am guessing?). Such a shame. I will remember him always from my days watching baseball games as a young boy......great days they were and Sparky was amazing! One of the best. Prayers for him and his family.

Great baseball man, of course anyone could have managed those big red machine teams in early '70's.
76 is too young for that . Is he in HOF as a manager yet?

He went in the HOF in 2000! There have, by the way, been many talented teams that should have won but didn't......so just having a talent laiden team does not guarantee a championship! He took the 84' Tigers wire to wire to win it all......so he was no fluke by any means......and that team was not exactly the Big Red Machine!  |

Oh that sucks. He was one of the greats! He had the 3rd highest winning percentages for managers when he retired!! Quite a manager and quite a character. RIP Sparky.
