Baker desires one more shot in dugout
"People think they know you through word of mouth, but it's somebody else's opinion," Dusty Baker said. (AP)The former Cubs, Giants and Reds skipper made it clear on Sunday night at Citi Field prior to Game 2 between the Mets and Cubs that he's ready to manage again. In that pursuit, he said he had a 3 1/2-hour interview recently with the Nationals.
"It was extensive. I mean, they really didn't know me there," Baker said of his interview with the Nationals. "People think they know you through word of mouth, but it's somebody else's opinion. I mean, they don't really know you until you talk to somebody. Then, it's like, 'Wow, I didn't know you were like that.' So it was good."
