Sparky Anderson is a former professional baseball player and manager, who played one season and managed for 15 seasons. Anderson managed the Cincinnati Reds to the 1975 and 1976 World Series Championships. He also led the Detroit Tigers to a title in 1984, making Anderson the first manager to win a World Series in both the National League and American League.
Anderson retired after the 1995 season which has been shortened due to the 1994 strike. His lifetime record is 2194-1834, good for a .545 percentage. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager in 2000. Although he spent the majority of his career with the Tigers, Anderson's Hall of Fame plaque show him in a Cincinnati Reds uniform. This was due to him managing the "Big Red Machine" to two World Series championships. Anderson's number 10 is retired by the Reds and his Detroit number 11 has been inactive since he last wore it in 1995.
