Timeline

Father of Darren Baker. During the 7th inning of Game 5 of the 2002 World Series, 2½-year-old Darren ran onto the field to retrieve a bat at home plate. He was pulled out of the way by J.T. Snow just before David Bell nearly ran him over as he was about to score. Baker claimed he was too busy managing the game -- a 16-4 blowout -- to notice that Darren had left the dugout. Major League Baseball (MLB) already had a directive limiting teams to two batboys, a rule the Giants violated repeatedly during that post-season. In response to the near-tragedy, MLB implemented the "Darren Baker Rule", which requires that all batboys be at least 14 years old.

He is an actor, known for Last Enchantment (1995), Prime 9 (2009) and 1981 National League Championship Series (1981).

Voted National League Manager of the Year in 1993, 1997, 2000, and 2002 by the BBWAA (Baseball Writers Association of America).

Won 1981 National League Gold Glove Award as Outfielder.

Finished 4th in voting for 1980 National League MVP. Finished 7th in voting for 1981 National League MVP.

Daughter Natosha (b. 29 September 1979) by Alice Lee.

Member of 1969 National League Western Division Champion Atlanta Baraves team. Member of 1977 and 1978 National League Champion Los Angeles Dodgers teams. Member of 1981 World Series Champion Los Angeles Dodgers team. Member of 1983 National League Western Division Champion Los Angeles Dodgers team.

Batted .278 with 242 homers and 1,013 RBIs during 19-years with the Atlanta Braves (1968-1975), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1976-1983), the San Francisco Giants (1984) and the Oakland Athletics (1985-1986)

He and his father, a former Little League coach, had a fight after the Atlanta Braves took Dusty in the 26th round of the 1967 draft. Johnnie Sr. wanted him to accept a basketball scholarship to the University of Santa Clara, but Dusty signed with the Braves. Dusty later had to sue his father to get his signing bonus, which the elder Baker had put into a trust. The two were estranged for years.

Dusty Baker was born on June 15, 1949 in Riverside, California, USA as Johnnie B. Baker.
