Sparky had the grey hair back in the 70's along with the craggy face. He used to tell the story that he looks like shit now but in 30 years people will say: "That Sparky Anderson never changes".

76

I thought he might be a bit older. Dementia and Alzheimers sucks. :(

He looked like he was 76 years old about 30 years ago. I'm surprised to learn that he was even still alive.

He was a great manager. When I started the story I thought they would say he is in his 90s.

I also couldn't believe he was only 76.

Sucks.

He looked like he was 76 about 20 years ago.


RIP
