From a Washington Post story by Chelsea James headlined “Dusty Baker finally walks away, leaving baseball better than he found it”:
Dusty Baker always said if he won one World Series, he would win two. He said it for years, undaunted by the fact that until last October, the story of his otherwise decorated managerial career was that he had not even won the first. On Thursday, as he announced his retirement from managing after 26 seasons, he brought up that promise as a reason he hadn’t given himself much time to reflect yet.
