White Sox fan here …Not only a great MLB Manager and former MLB Player, but a great human being. Thank You for the memories Johnnie B, aka Dusty. God bless You Sir.
thank you dusty
So sad that he had to retire after a loss like that. Wish you the best in the retirement.
Thank you dusty
Red Sox fan here. Class Act. Good luck Mr. Baker.
Thank for all you’ve done for the Astros and the fans, Dusty! Looking forward to seeing you entering the Hall of Fame!!!
He knew he couldnt get past the Rangers in the next 5-7 years so he hung them up. Smart man.
@@skinnie2838 That was definitely not the reason why he retired. It's presumptuous to assume the Rangers are going to dominate the Astros for the next 5-7 years. The Astros are the only team that has been consistent at winning in the MLB over the last 7 years. The Astros won the regular season series against the Rangers for the last 6 consecutive full seasons.
@@aarontoalet Yeah yeah, astros are done winning for awhile. Dusty knew when to fold em.
@@skinnie2838 Why do you say they’re done winning? People say that every year the Astros don’t win the World Series. Yet here they are again.
@@aarontoalet Because the Rangers are a thing again. And the Mariners are young and good and getting better looks like. Astros are done for a bit. Enjoy what you had nerd.
He’s one of the only few managers to wear a uniform top when he is managing instead of a t shirt that makes you look like you don’t belong on the team. How can anyone take you seriously when you don’t wear a complete uniform.
I'm torn on this one. I think of Lasorda in a uniform and I'm like "no way he's going out there to bat, field, or pitch - why is he in uniform?" I agree that the t-shirt or hoodie look is a little slack, but maybe they can be more like a Landry or Hank Stram, with the full suit. Or maybe even just a sport coat and those new casual-formal shoes. In any case, Baker has been a class act.
Very true. Bu the way, nobody talks about that. I fully respect people like Baker, Lasorda, Cox, Torre or other managers that fully dressed up. Sad that they have gone.
Love you so much! You were the healing balm and the steady hand the players AND we fans needed. You were the best coach the Astros ever had in my lifetime. We are so blessed you came to Houston. I’m happy your WS win and WS and ALCS appearances and achievements were with the Astros and were due to your leadership both on and off the field.
You are humble, you are down to earth, and you’re a winner! And most important of all you’re the Real Thing. Gonna miss you 💔
Good man, right there.
I'm a Rangers fan, but tip your cap where it's due.
Dusty Baker is a real one
Legend and future hall of fame skipper.
Enjoy your family, sir
Thank you for everything dusty ❤
Thank you dusty, love you big dawg and congratulations! 🤘🏻🧡
He took on a tough job, immediately after the cheating scandal and kept the team strong and won a World Series.
To think that he almost took the Astros to 4 consecutive World Series is amazing. They were one game away in the ALCS twice. No one will forget the 2022 World Series Champions: Your Houston Astros.
In 1981 he made the final out for Nolan Ryan's 5th no hitter on my birthday.
Admittedly, I’m a bias Baker fan, but hearing these men say they will miss him is a little irritating. If they’re going to miss him so much, why not keep him in Houston? There’s no way that leaving is Dusty’s idea when he still wants to stay in baseball. What am I missing?
When I was a child, I played little league Baseball for the Boys and girls club in Atlanta. I was 7, and in 1962, I remembered Two pro ball players came to visit us. First time was hank, that's what I knew him as then. The next time was a few months later, another man came with Hank, I knew as Mr. Baker. Just wondering If Dusty baker was that other man. Could you find out for me. That would make my day, know he was part of my love for Bassball.
Tears in my eyes. Go Astros. Texas Rangers will go to World Series but they’re the second team in Texas. The Astros fit the boots!!!
Thank u Dusty Baker, in the 70's I sat in left field at Dodger stadium and watched u battle the BIG RED MACHINE ❤
nearly half a century ago, after he had been w the great Atlanta Braves, I would while in college go to Chavez Ravine, sit in the LF bleachers and watch #12 - best to you and your family to enjoy retirement Dusty. Selfishly being a Mets fan would love to have had you coach and help some of these young Mets as a consultant or manager. Oh well, you had a great career sir, Hammerin Hank would have been proud of you.
Next stop is Cooperstown
Dusty, you'll be sorely missed! Thank you for your commitment to excellence and especially personal integrity. Next stop.....Cooperstown!
Mediocre manager who mis-managed a great team - Astros could have done better. He has good people skills so people like him but his manager skills lack. So many decisions that dont make sense and hurt the Astros.
Thank you for all your work Dusty
THANK YOU SO MUCH DUSTY
Since 2001, ever since I first saw Dusty Baker in the Giants he literally gives me the chills including the 2002 World Series against Anaheim. 2003-2006 Chicago Cubs it was definitely hilarious when he gets ejected from the game, I always die laughing all the time.
Thanks for everything Dusty Baker, I'm gonna miss seeing him.
I wasn’t too mad the Giants lost in 02 though as it was the first time the Angels won a World Series.
As a Texas Rangers fan thank you and God Bless You Dusty!
Nothing but praise to give Dusty Baker. Have tshirts with to prove we did games that we were and still are the World Series champions ❤❤❤❤❤
I’m going to miss Coach Dusty! I’m so glad he got Houston that True World Series Championship at Home! Enjoy Retirement Coach!
Thank you Dusty Baker I am a Texas Ranger fan but I'm also a fan of great man and women enjoy your retirement
Thank goodness. Dont let the door hit you in the ass!
Cubs fan, happy retirement sir! 😎

God bless you dusty... now when you come out of retirement come to Philadelphia, because Thomson stinks!! shame on us for not hiring you! Girardi???? unbelievable. Much love Mr. Baker, from south Philadelphia.
SAME TOOTH PICK ALL THESE YEARS TOO
Been a fan through SF, Cin, (Hated you with the Cubs, lol.) Carlos Zambrano! How'd you wrangle him!?
CONGRATULATIONS to"DUSTY BAKER" for all his years in major league baseball and for finally getting his much deserved ring and even though the ASTROS aren't going back to the World Series this year he can hand his head up high and be proud of what he has accomplished in all of his years in major league baseball ...👏👏👏
Thank you Dusty Baker! You are a role model. You have made a difference in my life and I am forever grateful! Congratulations and I look forward to your next chapter in our journey!
Thanks Dusty for your great career in MLB. Goes way back. A player and coach. You are a good one and we will miss you big guy. Enjoy your well deserved retirement.

Thank you Dusty for everything , you brought respect to the Astros you stood up for them during the scandal thank you for everything you’ve done
❤🏆🍾💪🏾🤘🏾
😊
Dusty, sincere congratulations on your retirement. You have made huge contributions to the sport of baseball. You will be in the Hall of Fame in the very near future. There is nothing more that you need to accomplish in this sport. Your family has already lost a lot of quality time with you. God knows that you do not need the money. Do the right thing and now give your family the time that they deserve. Money is not everything. You do not want to get to a point in your life when you regret not having made your family the centerpiece of your life.
Woohoo
Great managerial career. He deserves to be on the Hall of Fame.
Thank you dusty I watching as a manager
One of my favorite Marines... oorah!
Goodness comes easy to this man.
May God bless you Dusty!
Dusty is BADASS !!!!!!!!!!!!
wanna bet that he is named yankees manager in 2025?
that's what i was thinking
sabean is there...wont be surprised if it happens
When I was just a kid I had a few 8X10 glossy photos of a few MLB players on a cork board in my room. Dusty Baker was one of those guys you had to respect as a player. Brooks Robinson and Billy Williams were also up on that board. When Dusty won a World Series as a Manager with Houston, after all those other teams he managed had gotten so close but not gotten the ring, I don't recall ever being more happy for a Manager. He is one of the best all-time.
He knew he couldnt get past the Rangers in the next 5-7 years so he hung them up. Smart man.
It's "King Choke" Tucker's fault for Dusty getting the boot. 😂
I agree bout King Choke but Dusty said he thought bout retirement this off season
I agree … Kyle Tucker who is a tremendous player had a horrible ALCS…
Nan nan nan nan hey hey hey goodbye
It would not have made a difference if he went to Philly they would have still choked
Dusty Baker will always be a dodger much love in respect dodger blue baby .
THANK YOU DUSTY FOR HELPING IN BRINGING A CHAMPIONSHIP TO THE DODGERS IN 81. TO WIN A W.S. IN SO RARE. THE DODGERS WON IN 88 AS WELL AND THAT WAS THE LAST TRUE CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THEM. YOU WILL ALWAYS BE A WINNER. BEST OF LUCK. ENJOY YOURSELF.
He just may be back coaching for the Dodgers next year.
Good luck Dusty 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Dusty retired because he does not want to be associated with the trash-tros.
He retired because he is going to become a drill sargent for USMC
@@albertoaguirre7114haha. He can’t make the cut. The marine corps does not accept any lying, CHEATING or stealing. So he is disqualified for representing a cheating team.
