Dusty Baker celebrates with the Astros’ 2022 World Series trophy.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Dusty Baker wore blue-and-white wristbands with his name and image on them, pulled tight over his still-powerful forearms. Orange batting gloves covered his extra-large hands. And his shoes? On point as always. That is, if sneakers that are orange, red, teal and green with navy blue lettering on them — yes, all the same time — can possibly look good.

On Baker, they did. He’s just cool like that.

He’s also 73 and, last season, became the oldest manager to win a World Series in major league history.
