Dusty Baker got to watch his son, Darren Baker, hit his first MLB hit for the Washington Nationals against the Chicago Cubs.
Back then, Dusty Baker was the manager of the Cubs and patrolled the dugout at Wrigley Field, getting them as close to the World Series as they had been in years. Darren Baker spent his time, especially his summers, making Wrigley his home, too.
That meant Dusty Baker and his wife, Melissa, had to get on a plane from San Francisco — after just landing there on Friday after seeing Darren Baker play in the minor leagues in Scranton, Penn. — and fly back to Washington to see two of his former teams. Baker also managed the Nationals, too. Now, he just needs 1,980 hits to catch his dad, who connected on 1,981 hits in his 19-year career as a player.
