@emarktaylor @[email protected] @baseball @[email protected] It's really hard to know, although Houston's catcher was not setup inside.

I just liked 74 year old #DustyBaker getting all fired up when the umps ejected his pitcher.😉🤯😡

I just love this:

"[Dusty] Baker once smoked a joint with Jimi Hendrix. He and a Dodgers teammate, Glenn Burke, invented the high-five. He wears wristbands with his own likeness. He has a vineyard at his home in Sacramento. Before the World Series, he got a good-luck message from Snoop Dogg."
