[edit] Info box colors

I have changed Sparky's colors to the Reds since his decade as manager of the Big Red Machine is well-known and that is where he most dominated as a manager (he won the 1984 World Series with the Tigers, but the second half of his tenure was not nearly as successful). In the end, Sparky said he identified himself more as manager of the Big Red Machine when he went into the Hall, and since he did not spend a negligible amount of time in Cincinnati (almost 10 years) I feel that is appropriate.

Wheres the proof he idenified himself as a Red, you say that about everyboy, you think they should have the color you want, but where is the proof?--Yankees10 19:43, 28 June 2007 (UTC)Yankees10
