Respect is mutual in Dusty's return to Cincy

CINCINNATI -- Back at Great American Ball Park on Friday for the first time since he was dismissed as Reds manager following the 2013 season, Nationals manager Dusty Baker made sure he re-connected with his many friends and former co-workers.

Baker also made time for a haircut at his old barbershop in the city.

"Guys were talking stuff in the barber shop, and most people, they start to tell you that they miss you," Baker said. "Then I start thinking about way back a long time ago, an old girlfriend that told me they missed me even though they broke up with me.
