Comment on Best of BP 2017: Dusty Baker’s Outdated Reputation by Llarry

Back in 2004, I was in Chicago for a few days, so I planned for a game at Wrigley. On a cold, rainy day, I watched Dusty send Carlos Zambrano back out for the 8th inning, with 90+ pitches, in a game the Cubs led 12-4. The man’s original reputation was not undeserved. Fortunately, Z did not suffer adversely from the incident, and, as Rob points out, Dusty has gotten better over the years.
