      Hall of Fame Coach Sparky Anderson dies today.

      Anderson was the coach of the  Reds, known as the "Big Red Machine" who won 2 World Series with the Reds and another with the Tigers in 1984.

      26 seasons as MLB manager with Reds (1970-78) and Tigers (1979-95).
      Won 5 pennants and 3 World Series (1975-76 Reds, 1984 Tigers).
      First manager to win World Series in both leagues.
      Inducted into Hall of Fame, 2000.
      Two-time AL manager of the year (1984, 1987).

      Classic coach, great guy and he will be missed.

      RIP Sparky
