SPARKY ANDERSON
HOF manager signs his Cincinnati Reds card
Baseball Card signed: "Sparky Anderson", 3½x2½ overall, image
2x1¾ (one surface). Shown as manager of the Reds. (His coaches are also
pictured.) In 1959 Anderson (1934-2010) played for the Philadelphia Phillies. It
was his first and only year in the majors. In 2000, George "Sparky" Anderson
was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, obviously not for his record as
a player. Sparky Anderson managed the Cincinnati Reds from 1970-1978
winning five Western Division and four National League Championships and two
World Series. As manager of the Detroit Tigers (1980-1992), Anderson won
two Eastern Division Championships and one World Series. Despite compiling the
sixth most wins (2,194) of any manager in history, Anderson was pushed
into retirement after he refused to manage replacement players during the 1994
baseball strike. (He wasn't siding with the striking players; he just wouldn't
offer the fans an inferior product.) Lightly soiled. Otherwise, fine
condition.
