Johnnie Baker Jr., at long last, will have his day.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg declared Dusty Baker Day in the city to honor the newly crowned World Series champion, Hall of Famer-in-waiting, and Sacramento favorite son. Details to come, the mayor said.
“We’ll make it official sometime very soon,” Steinberg posted in his Twitter feed Saturday night following the Houston Astros’ 4-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies in Houston that clinched the title in six games and gave Baker his long-sought first World Series championship as a manager.
