For the third time in the last five years, the Houston Astros will play in the World Series. For manager Dusty Baker, it’s his first World Series since 2002. He’s 13 victories away from 2,000 regular season wins as a manager, but doesn’t have a championship to show for it.
That could change in the next few weeks as the Astros will play either the Braves (the team who drafted him in 1967) or the Dodgers (the team he won a World Series with as a player in 1981) in the Fall Classic.
