Sparky Anderson, Baseball Hall of Fame Coach and USC bat boy, died today.

In memory of a great coach, two stories about him, from a USC perspective.  One comes from USC's official athletic blog, with a nice picture of Sparky Anderson as a bat boy.  Another comes from Dan Weber over at USCfootball.com, talking about his encounters with Sparky dating back to the 70s and how Sparky was at a USC football practice one day, back in the Pete Carroll era.

Sometimes I forget just how much history there is at USC, and the traditions and people who extend out from it.
