One of the best

Today we lost a baseball great, Sparky Anderson.

He was one of the best managers, who went on to be inducted into the Hall of Fame 2000. He was one of eight managers who won at least three World Series titles, and the first manager to win the World Series in both leagues.

  

"Sparky was, by far, the best manager I ever played for," said former Reds star Pete Rose, the game's career hits leader. "He understood people better than anyone I ever met. His players loved him, he loved his players and he loved the game of baseball. There isn't another person in baseball like Sparky Anderson. He gave his whole life to the game." - from ESPN

 

God bless his family during this time of loss.

We'll miss you Sparky.

Thursday's Things 11/4/10

• I love the sight of
Kids walking around the neighborhood trick-or-treating.

There were so many cute and original costumes!


• I love the sound of
Our dryer going off.

It means we have a way to clean and dry our clothes.
I'm very thankful for that!



• I love the feel of
A satisfied belly.

There are too many who go without, and I know I'm blessed.



• I love the taste of
Pork tenderloin cooked like a roast in the crock pot.

We had it for dinner Tuesday, and the leftovers
will be enjoyed in the days to follow.



• I love the smell of
Pumpkin lattes.

Coffee with pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon is delicious!


• I'm thankful for
My grandparents who just celebrated their 67th Anniversary.

I love you Grandpa & Grandma!
