One day they call in hospice, the next day he's gone.
RIP Sparky in the Big Red Machine in the sky.

I am very saddened to hear of Sparky's passing. Having been a lifelong Pirates fan (yes - even when they've totally sucked ) I remember the days of the Big Red Machine (Perez, Bench, Charlie Hustle) very well and how much I dreaded the Pirates playing the Reds during that era as they were such a force to be reckoned with. Rest In Peace Mr. Anderson.
