One of Sparky's Boys

When Sparky Anderson came to Detroit to manage the Tigers, I was just starting to follow baseball closely. I knew he was from Cincinnati. I knew the Reds were awesome. I knew the names; Bench, Rose, Morgan, Foster, Concepción, Perez.

Today, I got a new card of one of the Big Red Machine. 2006 UD Artifacts Auto-Facts #195/251. This continues my streak of guys with nice signatures. Yadier Molina has a horrid scribble.

2700+ hits

505 doubles

1652 rbi

379 hr

.280 lifetime ba

Hall of Famer!
