That ain’t no lie...that was a monster team that had an unbelievably dominant season....In my lifetime no other team has come close to the ‘84 Tigers.
Sad to hear about Sparky...

Amen. Sparky coached the Big Red Machine to dominance during the 70s.

I grew up with Captain Hook in the dugout for the Reds.
Best Manager we ever had IMO.

Very sad news.Prayers for all.
My Mom who is 84, took care of my Dad who had Alzheimer's,for many years.He was put in hospice care and died 6 days later.
Hospice has wonderful people that work with the family,and I am very thankful they were there.

Disagree. 76 Reds managed by Sparky the greatest team ever (the modern era). They went through post season undefeated.

True, but in 76, they only had to win two series.

Sad news. May they make his final days as comfortable as possible. A great manager and good man, I hate to see his great mind stolen from him by age.
