Sparky Anderson after Brogna was traded:"He's got a chance to be a good one some day, but I didn't want to wait to find out".

Brogna was traded for Alan Zinter.  I remember having an argument on the AOL board with one of the dumbest baseball fans on the internet.  He said that Tony Clark was going to be another Alan Zinter.  I told him that Zinter was never a good prospect and was nothing like Clark.  He got really upset telling me I knew nothing about baseball and to get my head out of the spreadsheets. He assured me that Zinter was a stud prospect who flamed out.  The same guy once told me that Brookens was a good hitter because he was clutch.  That pretty much summed up my early days on social media. 

This guy was a high school teacher from Ohio.  😀
