    The most memorable image of him is from the 1976 World Series against the Yankees . . . Johnny Bench hit the big home run which clinched the game (and the series) and you could hear him say [adlib] 'We gonna win the World Series again Sugarbear (?) . . .. We're gonna be World Champions again !!!!!!' Spark was an awesome manager :) :) . . . . 3
