I met him when I was seven years old. He was very nice.

He’s like Chuck Berry - never looked young.

I also met him and he was a kind and generous man. Also, a great baseball manager.

As a Dodger fan growing up in the early to mid 70’s there was nothing better than the Red’s Dodgers and those great teams of Bench Concepion, Rose, Morgan vs Garvey,Russel,Lopes Sutton, messersmith and Alston/lasorda vs Sparky. RIP Sparky you made my childhood much better.

A real class act and one of the best managers ever.
That Big Red Machine was something else.

George “Sparky” Anderson was probably my favorite baseball manager. He coached arguably the best baseball team of my lifetime, the Big Red Machine of the early 1970’s. Sparky was always laid back and was able to get anyone to play hard for him. He always had some great lines for the media too.
Baseball and baseball fans will miss this great man. RIP Sparky.

Being a middle school kid in Cincinnati in the 70’s was heaven for a Reds fan like myself. That is because of Sparky Anderson. Sparky running The Big Red Machine in my backyard made for such amazing memories. Thanks a lot Sparky!!!!! Rest in Peace.

The Big Red Machine! Thank you Sparky for making my teenage years when I was rooting for Perez, Morgan, Concepcion, Rose, Foster, Geronimo, Griffey, and Bench on to victory after victory so joyful and memorable.
RIP Sparky Anderson!

Sad news. He was an all-time great and a classy guy — a good “baseball man”, as they say.
RIP.
