Astros manager Dusty Baker has lived one of the most fulfilling baseball lives in the history of our game.
In his 19-year playing career, he made two All-Star teams, won two Silver Sluggers and a Gold Glove, received MVP votes in three different seasons, won three National League pennants (1977, ‘78 and ‘81), one NLCS MVP award (‘77) and one World Series (‘81). In his 25 years as a big-league manager, he has won 2,093 regular-season games (ninth most all time), three pennants and three Manager of the Year awards.
