On Thursday, October 26, the Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker publicly announced his retirement, after 26 seasons as an MLB manager. This decision is coming after the Astros suffered a heart-breaking game-seven loss to the Texas Rangers in a stunning Texas classic. During the post-game interview, Dusty was asked about the future of Houston as well as what’s next for him. “We’ll see, I talked to my daughter I have two grandsons.
