Oh man. This sux. I had the pleasure of watching his magic on a daily basis as the manager of the Detroit Tiger, for which he won the World Series.

I hope and pray they you are at ease and in no pain. RIP Sparky.

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.

I had heard, yesterday, that he was in a hospice.

RIP, Sparky.  Make out your lineup card for tomorrow's game with John McGraw's team.  (For those that don't know, John McGraw was a manager in the early part of the last centruy.)

Chase her even when she's yours.
That's the only way you'll be assured to never lose her.

One of the greats, I used to love his on-the-field tirades.

I grew up watching and worshipping the Big Red Machine.  He was truly a great manager and even greater human being.
