This is how I prefer to remember Sparky Anderson.

I watched the Reagan funeral procession from the airport to his final resting place at the library. Mexican laborers came out of the fields to bow and pay their respects. So did ordinary people. Sparky was one of the people along the route which the media interviewed and he gave a great tribute to the Gipper.

Before long, they will be meeting in person. It is sorry for us on earth to see good men go, but don't forget there will be a happy reunion on the other side.

I remember how every time he went out to the mound to talk to the pitcher (or returned from the mound) he hopped over the 1st base line because he thought it was bad luck to step on the chalk.
