5. Thanks for the memories
Sparky was the only Manager that could handle the egos of the 'Big Red Machine'. He was a great Manager. RIP

7. Sparky was the man
Anderson, born in South Dakota during the Great Depression, said “thank you” to people for whom he signed autographs.
He often quoted his father’s words to him: “Being nice to people is the only thing in life that will never cost you a dime. Treat
them nice and they’ll treat you the same.”
