We were so lucky to have him for 17 years. I loved watching the Tigers at Tiger Stadium and when Sparky was our manager. The way he would stop and hop over the foul line, having the team all show their stirrups so that they looked the same and his famous quotes. He was all ours and only on loan to Cincinnati early in his managerial career.
@jhawk8274 Blame Dick Wagner for that one. I remmber how angry Cincinnati was when Wagner got rid of the Spark. They win 76/76 back to back and then they fire him just 2 years later. Idiocy.
Greatest man in my lifetime
Gave his soul to baseball,children and
Real everyday people. You are truly
A inspiration to those of us that you
Got to touch. Your the best sparky
Please mr. Illitch retire his number and honor
Him like he already should have been.

How bad was his dementia during this event? He seems like he knows what he's talking about.
