2021 World Series Game 1, Braves vs. Astros, Tuesday 10/26, 7:09 CT

Game 1 note:

Dusty Baker made his Major League debut with the Braves on September 7, 1968, in a game against the Astros. Now he’s going to be managing the Astros in the 2021 World Series against the Braves. Hang around long enough, and it all goes and comes around.
