Editor’s note: “As Told To Amy G,” presented by Toyota, will feature exclusive conversations with Giants staff, players and alums, as well as interesting figures around Major League Baseball, throughout the 2019 season.

You know “The Most Interesting Man in the World” commercial campaign? Yeah, yeah, it’s to sell beer, but if it was an ad to sell baseball, Dusty Baker likely would get the role.
Back with San Francisco after a difficult departure as manager in 2002 and a 16-year hiatus from the Giants, Baker’s official title is special assistant to the CEO, but he explains he’s more of an evaluator.
