vounci Open Until 9 p PHONE the HERALD SERVICE PLAYING FIELD Dont give Sparky credit I learning all about he psychology of coaching First hand And what I ve learned is tills The Detroit Tigers may have won 40 bill games in two months but don give manager Sparky Anderson the credit Lei see what he can do with my Golfer Travel Gianls of the major lyke house league Spark gets all the headlines but all he has to da is pencil in the starling nine and open the clubhouse door Tie Giants have lost three straight exhibition so for in this young season- wo haven even been in a close one yet and I ve more real managing than will do all summer 1 hope Sparky docsn lake all this personally but you have to wonder how much baseball strategy is required j line up including Lance behind the plate Jack Morris on the mound Lemon in center field and Alan Trammell at short stop The Tigers it oil pitching hitting and defence My Gianls on the other hand have nothing except my managerial genius How would Sparky Anderson handle it If his second baseman asked to go to the store in the bottom of the fourth inning What would Sparky Anderson do if his left fielder walked off the practice field to sit in the car with his mom because his hands were cold Where would Sparky Anderson find peace when the left fielder wonts to catch the catcher wants to pitch and the pitcher is more interested In climbing trees than finding the strike zone 1 11 bet you Sparky docsn have to phone all his Tigers to make sure they know when the first gome is And when was the lime Sparky had to shell out for pop after a game Does Sparky carry bats and balls and bases around in the trunk of his car Did he have ask his girl to keep score Docs Sparky hove to worry about providing new game bails hen other clubs visit
