I can’t imagine the stress Dusty must be under, managing a ML team with that in the back of his mind. At least he’ll be somewhat close this weekend to spend time with his dad. Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery for Mr. Baker.

I hope your Dad gets well, it doesn’t sound promising…losing a parent is indescribable, God be with you.

About Dusty;
This guy was a really fun to watch and competitive player back in the day.The man also had style out the wazzoo..
I like how he almost always deflects criticism about his players and how it seems that in his eyes every one of those guys is either already really good or just a pitch or AB away from putting it all together.

Players generally really like this guy and seem to respect him as a manager, they live with him day in and out for 6 months of the year..that says a lot (esp. in this super superduper STAR age).

Oh and his team is tied for the league lead..must be doing somethings right.

But this thread is about Dusty’s father’s illness…I see nowhere in the comment submitted any malfeasance towards Dusty’s managerial competence.

I also doubt very much that Dusty is going to read this fanshot…so I’m just a-talkin’ to myself.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.
