Former San Francisco Giants manager Dusty Baker told USA Today on Wednesday that he is retiring, a decision that comes two days after the Houston Astros lost to the Texas Rangers in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series.
Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker told USA Today on Wednesday that he is retiring, a decision that comes two days after the team lost to the Texas Rangers in Game 7 of the AL Championship Series.""I'm very grateful and thankful to Jim Crane and the Houston Astros for giving me this opportunity, and to win a championship,'' Baker, 74, told USA Today. "I felt like they've been good for me, and I've been good for them.
Baker did exactly what Crane had hoped for, deflecting attention away from a group of players who were besieged by boos in all parks other than Minute Maid, while fostering continued success. The Astros reached the AL Championship Series in 2020, secured the AL title in 2021 and won the World Series -- Baker's first as a manager -- in 2022.
"I love winning," Baker said after winning the World Series last season. "I'm just telling you, I love winning probably more than anything else. I'm spoiled by winning."
