Download or read book They Call Me Sparky written by Sparky Anderson and published by Gale Cengage. This book was released on 1998 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparky Anderson managed the Detroit Tigers and the Cincinnati Reds through 26 seasons; he is the only manager to pilot World Series championship teams in each league, the only one to win 100 games during a season in each, and the only manager to lead two different franchises in total victories. Yet he remains a regular guy with simple tastes and unaffected values. This book alternates Anderson's first-person observations and bits of inspiration with the biographic narrative of longtime Tigers PR director Dan Ewald.
