Dusty Baker won his first title as a manager at age 73, having guided the Houston Astros past their era of scandal. He doesn’t have a contract for 2023.
from the top step of the home dugout, in a city he grew to love and surrounded by people who grew to love him, Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker found himself in a tangle of coaches who wouldn’t let go. They danced too hard and hugged too long and Baker couldn’t stop smiling. With his gloved left hand he clung to the netting beside him, maybe so he wouldn’t fall, maybe so no one would drag the moment away from him.
Nearly three decades after the first game he ever managed, nearly 4,000 games later, his son is 23, he has two grandchildren, and soon he will have the ring he’s been chasing since he was 43 years old. He turned 73 this summer.
