Dusty Baker Says Job With Astros Is \'Last Hurrah\' 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Jan 31, 2020 12:15 pm

The Houston Astros officially introduced Dusty Baker as their new manager on Thursday.

The Astros fired A.J. Hinch earlier this month in the wake of a sign-stealing scam that was investigated by Major League Baseball.

Baker, 70, has been chasing a World Series title for decades.

\"I was happy, but I wasn\'t satisfied, where I was and what I was doing because something\'s missing,\'\' he said. \"And I think the Lord gave me the best chance to accomplish what I need as a person, as a father, and as a man.\'\'

Baker has 22 years of managing experience.

\"This is my last hurrah,\" he said. \"And I thought my last hurrah was in Washington, actually, because I gave all my stuff away. I went to find my shoes, went up to the attic and I found the empty bag. ... So this is a new beginning for me.\"
