Well said.

Even though he started out a Dodger, he was always a fun player to watch. He did a very good job managing us through what I'm sure was not an easy situation (Bonds/Kent, etc - talented yes, but a strange clubhouse to be sure). He was one Robbie Nen shoulder injury from a championship.

All the best to the Baker family.

Lets just hope for the best and that he gets back to the old Dusty we all know. Thanks guys!

Same here. I'll always love the guy.

Good luck to Dusty and hope he gets better soon. Sad/scary story to hear.

I always liked Dusty, a good players manager, and a good dude. Used to see him at the Elephant Bar at SFO, back in the day.

When he donned a Giants jersey for the 2002 Giants reunion a few months ago, that told you everything about where his heart belonged. The fans returned the love; I think Dusty got the loudest ovation.

I think it is pretty regular practice for someone to wear the uni during a reunion, even if that person is with another org. I seem to remember Kent doing something similar a few years back when he was with the doggies ( I may be mistaken about that). I also suspect Bam Bam wore a snakes uni in their alumni game earlier this season.

Heck, PTMFB signed a 1-day contract with Philly earlier this season WHILE STILL A SCOUT FOR THE GIANTS.

Dusty was part of the Giants revival

Wishing for a speedy and full recovery to a good guy

Hope for the best for the guy....but if the Giants don't win the series...I don't want it to be Dusty. I still blame him for the Game 6 meltdown in 2002....
