Baseball Hall of Famer, Sparky Anderson, who won three World Series Titles managing the Cincinnati Reds and the Detroit Tigers, died recently. In spite of all his success, he is most remembered as an unpretentious and gracious human being. He loved and cared about people and treated everyone as an old friend whether they were a celebrity or a janitor. When people asked him for an autograph, he thanked them rather than vice versa. He often quoted something his father told him, “”Being nice to people is the only thing in life that will never cost you a dime. Treat them nice and they will treat you the same.”” Sparky lived that quote and for that reason every one of his former players and colleagues whom I saw interviewed the day after he died cried when the talked about him. I think that’s the way all of us want to be remembered.
