LOS ANGELES — An emotional Dusty Baker walked the field at Dodger Stadium before Tuesday’s All-Star Game. He grew up in Riverside, an hour’s drive away on those imaginary occasions when traffic is light. He played for the Dodgers, of course, during an outstanding career. At 73, the Astros skipper led the American League to a 3-2 victory in the first Midsummer Classic at this iconic ballpark since 1980.
“Life has come full circle for me,” he said.
