One day after receiving the sad news that Sparky Anderson was suffering from dementia, we've learned the even sadder news that managing legend has died at age 76.
A ****** spokesman told the Associated Press than Anderson had died of complications from dementia, for which his ****** had placed him in hospice care.
Anderson was, of course, the talented colorful manager of both Cincinnati's Big Red Machine, which won back-to-back titles in 1975-76 and the memorable 1984 Detroit Tigers, which started the season 35-5 en route to the franchise's last World Series title. A man of strong principles, he was respected throughout the game and was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2000.
