1977 Topps #146 Dusty Baker
About Dusty Baker
Baker moved to left field after the knee surgery and hit .291 with 30 home runs and 86 RBI. His 30th homer, on October 2 off J. R. Richard, set up a high five with Glenn Burke and made the Dodgers the first team with four 30-homer men. He hit .357 with two homers in the NLCS against Philadelphia and was named its first MVP. Card #146 shows him as a Dodger.
Johnnie B. "Dusty" Baker Jr. was born June 15, 1949, in Riverside, California, and grew up in the Sacramento area, where he starred at Del Campo High School and held a basketball scholarship offer from Santa Clara. The Atlanta Braves drafted him in the 26th round in 1967, and he signed against his father's wishes. He debuted September 7, 1968, pinch-hitting for Phil Niekro, and became the Braves' starting center fielder in 1972. After the 1975 season he was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he played eight years. With them he was named the first NLCS MVP in 1977, won a Gold Glove and two Silver Sluggers, made the 1981 and 1982 All-Star teams, and won the 1981 World Series. He finished with the Giants in 1984 and the Athletics in 1985 and 1986. He played 2,039 games and retired with 1,981 hits, 242 home runs and 1,013 RBI. As a manager he led the Giants, Cubs, Reds, Nationals and Astros, and won the 2022 World Series with Houston.
