Dusty Baker has been around for some iconic moments!
October 5, 1977, he is credited for delivering the first official high five
On October 2, 1977 — When Dusty Baker hits his 30th homer of the season against the Astros’ J.R. Richard, the Dodgers become the first team in major league history to have four players hit 30 or more home runs
He was in the dugout when Bonds hit 73 HR
He was playing for the Braves when Aaron hit his 700th HR and he was on deck when Aaron hit 715
He was managing the Giants when Barry Bonds hit his 700th HR
He was managing the Cincinnati Reds in 2010 when Roy Hallady pitched his postseason no hitter
He was managing the Astros when they fire a combined no-hitter in the 2022 World Series in the same place his Reds got no hit, except this time in a World Series
He is the only man to be wearing an MLB uniform when Hank Aaron, Barry Bonds, and Albert Pujols hit their 700th HR
He was there when a team who plays in an stadium with no roof lost because of an open roof*
Now he can add World Series Winning Manager, managing the 2022 Houston Astros’s to their second title in franchise history.
