Ever-eclectic Dusty Baker shows off his style at Nationals intro

Who else but new Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker could weave references to Stevie Wonder, the Doors, Bill Russell, Al Attles, Bill Walsh, President Obama and color-changing lizards into his introductory news conference?

On changing with the times: "Adaptation is no problem for me," said Baker, who received a two-year contract. "My friends call me a chameleon, because they think I can adapt to any place, any time, anywhere. And so I would like to think that I transcend different generations, like some musicians. I mean, Stevie Wonder still sounds good. And The Doors might sound even better.
