First Ernie Harwell was sick and passed away, now we hear Sparky Anderson is in hospice care related to complications from dementia.
Prayers for the family. 1984 is a special year for Tigers fans, and all Detroiters, and the fact that it was 26 years ago does not lessen the impact. We remember it still, when the city was hurting, "Bless You Boys" was the anthem. Lance Parris and Kirk Gibson and Jack Morris and Darrell Evans and Chet Lemon and Dan Petry and Tom Brookens and the the gang became the old Detroit World Series champion of my lifetime, and of now nearly two generations. Sparky was their manager, but also their mentor and life coach. So many prayers for his family.
