Dusty Baker became the 12th manager in major league history to win 2,000 games -- and the first Black manager to reach the milestone -- with the Astros' 4-0 victory Tuesday night over the Seattle Mariners in Houston.
The 72-year-old Baker began his managerial career in 1993 with the San Francisco Giants, and he has led five different teams -- the Giants, Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, Washington Nationals and Astros -- to the postseason, the only manager to achieve that feat. He also is one of nine managers to win pennants in both leagues, guiding the Giants to the World Series in 2002 and the Astros in 2021.
