Dusty and the Giants
IT'S TOO EARLY FOR ME [TO GIVE UP ON
THE SEASON],.Dusty Baker. QUOTEHD.COM
"I lived a few years in San Francisco and
for many years in Northern California.
I was a long-time fan of the SF Giants
and their manager Dusty Baker."
"I remember game 6 of the 2002 world series against
the Anaheim Angels when Dusty Baker was the
manager of the Giants. The Giants were up 3
games to 2 and ahead 6 to 0 in game 6.
Then, there was a major threat in the game.
Dusty pulled the pitcher, and the disaster began.
From that moment, things went downhill for the giants.
They never recovered and lost the World Series."
"Yes, PAUL, that was really too bad for Dusty and
the Giants. Dusty went on to manage a couple of
other teams before he came to Houston. He had
good winning seasons with those teams, but they
never became champions with Dusty."
"You know something, BILL? I was just thinking about
how both the Giants and Dusty recovered from the 'Angels'
disaster and went on to become champions. A few years
after their debacle with the Angels, the Giants went on to win
two World Series. The Giants won with a different manager, and
this year, at the age of 73, Dusty became a champion when he
and the Houston Astros won the '22 World Series".
"PAUL, that is some really good thinking. We can all learn a
ton of lessons from that story. I tell you PAUL, that Giants
and Dusty saga speaks volumes to me about the power of
making changes, and the resolve to keep believing and
never give up on yourself". "Thanks BILL".
