My Take
Dusty Baker is the kind of baseball man I deeply respect. A nineteen-year outfielder who earned a Gold Glove and shone with the Dodgers, he became, to me, even more compelling as a manager. His long road to the top, his patience, and the warm, fatherly presence he brought to clubhouses are qualities you cannot fake. Born in Riverside in 1949, he gave his whole life to the game and stayed true to himself through every era of it. I admire people who carry that much steadiness and heart, and Baker has both in abundance.
