Did Sparky Anderson sign George earlier in his career and Sparky later in his career or did he only sign George when it was requested by the autograph hound?

    Good question--apparently close friends always called him "George" and never "Sparky", right up until his death.

    A George divided against itself cannot stand

    Not really sure, but ive seen both. Im sure he switched over to sparky for signing at some point.

    I believe he received the nickname Sparky around 1955. Not sure when he stopped using George when signing autographs.

    I have a ball signed

    George Anderson
    1959 Phils.

    I requested this at a signing, he was a great person.

    Are you looking for one? If so, I'm looking to sell. Just PM ME ASAP.
