A Few Interesting Facts About Sparky Anderson
-
An interesting fact about Sparky Anderson, who died of dementia at 76, is that he was the youngest manager in baseball when he took the Cincinnati job in 1970 -- he was 36 years old but with prematurely white hair looked much, much older. He also had a very unusual major league playing career -- one full season, in which he was the everyday second baseman for the Phillies, and that's it. Not a single appearance in any other season. Came up, played 152 games, hit .218, eent back down, the end. (ESPN)
