DATE SHOT: Spring 1985 SUBJECT: Sparky Anderson APPROXIMATE SIZE: 35mm in standard slide mount MARKS / STAMPING: Mount is pre-printed with team name, player identification and position. TYPE CLASSIFICATION: Original Promo Slide COMMENTS / CONDITION: This is positive film that can be viewed with a backlight source without having to invert the image. As with original negatives, it can be used to produce high-quality photographic prints (no print is included with this item though). This is one of a large number of sports promo slides that I will be listing in the coming weeks. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to the mount's edges, but see scans for further details including film condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual vintage photograph, slide or negative being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends. George Lee Anderson (Captain Hook) was born in 1934 in Bridgewater, SD and died in 2010 in Thousand Oaks, CA. He played major league baseball for a single season in 1959 as 2nd baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2000. Anderson went on to manage the Cincinnati Reds (1970-78) and the Detroit Tigers (1979-95). He is ranked fourth all-time for career managerial wins and is one of only two managers in the history of Major League Baseball to win the World Series while leading clubs in both leagues. He retired from managing after the 1995 season with a lifetime record of 2194-1834, for a .545 winning percentage. He was elected to the Hall of Fame as a manager in 2000. He was also inducted into the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame the same year. On May 28, 2005, during pre-game ceremonies in Cincinnati, Anderson's jersey number, 10, was retired by the Reds. Explanation of Type Classifications: Type 1 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during the period (within two years of when the shot was taken). Type 2 = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, during a later period (more than two years after the shot was taken). Type 3 = A 2nd generation photograph, developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during the period. Type 4 = A 2nd generation photograph (or 3rd or later generation), developed from a duplicate negative or wire transmission, during a later period. Original = A 1st generation photograph, developed from the original negative, which appears to be of the period but for which a print date cannot be determined for definitive Type classification. Essentially, a photo we feel is a Type 1, but which lacks certain elements necessary for definitive dating of the print.
