Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker Jr. ahead of Game 1 of the baseball World Series between the Houston Astros and the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday, Oct. 27, 2022, in Houston. Game 1 of the series starts Friday. – Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. was asked for a simple description of Houston manager Dusty Baker.Baker has spent a lifetime in baseball and loves to regale his team with tales of his experiences and exploits in the game.
Baker is making his third trip to the Series as a manager and hopes to win his first title. As a player, he went three times with the Los Angeles Dodgers, winning it all as a big-hitting left fielder in 1981. “Those two are probably two of the best hitters of all-time,” third baseman Alex Bregman said. “So, any time he talks to you about them talking about hitting — you listen.”
“He tells me stories almost every day,” Alvarez said in Spanish through a translator. “Every time he talks to me or tells me a story, he usually talks about Barry Bonds or compares me with Barry Bonds. He’ll always mention him.” “Dusty told me that he went to Cuba and saw me playing at a Latin American tournament years ago,” Gurriel said in Spanish through a translator. “So, I was pretty excited about that.”
He soon found out Baker had broken COVID-19 protocols to leave the hotel and pick up the salmon from his favorite fish market because he heard McCullers loved it.
