Sparky Anderson, Hall of Fame manager and the first to guide teams to World Series victories in both leagues, has passed away at 76. Anderson, whose 2,194 wins are sixth all-time, dies of complications from dementia.
Sad....great manager....he was baseball in the 1970's...

He was placed in Hospice care yesterday. It was only a matter of time. Pete went to visit him recently while he was in poor health and they had a long chat. Pete apologized personally to Sparky for betting and some other things. They both had
a lot of respect for each other.
