Dusty hearts Attila the Hun

An avid reader, Baker's office shelf is filled with leadership and motivational books written by the likes of John Wooden and Bill Walsh. Asked about his collection, Baker pulled out a book about Attila the Hun.

"Everybody will think I'm crazy for liking him," Baker said. "Attila the Hun is one of the best leaders of all time. I don't think I could cut off hands and arms or something like that if you don't do what I tell you. I liked that his people were all nationalities, all different languages, a lot of stuff."

I used to as well.

But my wife reads one every six months or so. And she'll very often get out of them what she wants to get out of them.

So there's one more reason to hate Dusty Baker.

my wife

is unsatisfied sexually and so every six months or so reads an erotic novel staring a baseball manager with fetishes for toothpicks and wristbands.

so there's yet another reason to hate dusty baker.

Well, in fairness,

black people are the only ones made for that kind of heat.

This is not surprising in the least.

In fact, he probably also likes a certain World-War II era European dictator because he brings a lot of speed to the table and doesn't clog the bases by walking a lot.

At least it wasn't Grady Little.
