50?? I guess all that clean living.
50? Damn…Dude had a hard life
the boss
a cincinnati reds treasure of the fans
If I look like that when I’m 50, then I’ll actually be 75.
Reminds me of Wilford Brimley who was the coach in The Natural. He was like 50 when it was released in 1984.
Whhhhhhat? I’m 51 and thankfully look nothing like that. All hail moisturizer and sunscreen!
Don’t smoke, kids.
His face looks like an old catchers mitt

“He don’t wanna walk you!”
If I look like this in nine years, it’s only because a Jedi has deflected force lightning at me.
I’m 10 years older than that, and he could be my dad in that pic. Seriously.
My old man is turning 70 in a few weeks and he looks younger than this guy. He doesn’t look young for 70, he just looks younger than this guy.
Great manager
I was at Michigan and Trumble when the Tigers won the series in 1984!! Good times, I still have love for Sparky and the rest of the 84 Tigers!! Bless you boys!!
Instead of putting a diseased lung on a back of cigarettes to keep people from smoking they should use this picture along with his age.
I am too young (relatively) for the Casey Stengel, Connie Mack, John McGraw eras but like to think I got to experience a bit of the old school managers growing up with Anderson.
Is he related to Walder Frey?
Looks an old sea captain in a baseball outfit.
Man, 70 is the new 50 according to Sparky.
Jesus. He’s 50 in this picture? Looks like 70. That’s some hard living years.
I met him on a cruise in 2001. Went to get some coffee one morning and saw him from the side. I thought “Damn, that looks like Sparky Anderson.” In a minute he turned around and had on a Detroit Tigers t-shirt. He was by himself and I invited him to sit down to drink his coffee. We visited for about 10 minutes. Very nice man. He was on the cruise with his grandchildren and family.
Ain’t no way that’s 50. I mean, let’s call it 49 for fun. Is that someone that’s 49 even if smoked/drank for decades. There’s wrinkles on him a 77 year old would be proud to wear, jeeshh.
No way. He looks 80.
50 my ass
Does anyone remember, in the book “The Great Gatsby”, he describes talking to a really old guy who turns out to be 50. He was talking about Sparky Anderson.
50 going on 80?
Gotta be a mistake. He doesn’t look a day over 49. Ok, maybe one day
Not going to believe he’s 50 in this picture.
Damn! I’m 55 and he looks old enough to be my dad.
You’re joking…
That mf’er ain’t no 50
I’m nearly 57 and he looks like my 83 year old Dad. Yikes.
dude was born with 20 years already on the odometer.
Did you mean 84 in 1950?
So Sparky, what’s your secret?
I guess looking near death at 50 is cool.
Aged 50???? More like 75
