Sparky Anderson Videos

Sparky Anderson videos can be found throughout baseball history. Baseball: A film by Ken Burns, was the story of America's national pastime - an epic overflowing with heroes and hopefuls, scoundrels and screwballs. The saga brought to life rare images of baseball players hardly ever seen and in that vein Baseball Almanac is bringing to you Sparky Anderson videos that have been researched by hand and specifically chosen to illustrate the life and times of this ballplayer.
"He (Sparky Anderson) really believes he made a winning team out of Pete Rose, Johnny Bench, Joe Morgan, George Foster and Davey Concepcion by teaching them the virtues of shiny shoes and clean upper lips." - Bill James in Sport Magazine (1982)
