Sad news

The great Sparky Anderson, who led the Detroit Tigers to a World Series victory in 1984 (and the Cincinnati Reds to Series victories in 1975 and 1976) is reported to be seriously ill.

God bless Sparky and his family - and thanks, Sparky, for a wonderful summer of '84.

That's to bad, I hadn't heard the news. He and Ernie Harwell (RIP)were baseball royalty, and not just here in Michigan...

Bummer, I just heard on WJR Detroit that Sparky has passed. God Bless Sir!
