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". 112022PSCtest, Dialogue Proficiency. Matt Caliri .
