HEARS FROM THE TWO TIME WORLD SERIES CHAMP. TWO WEEKS AGO, DUSTY BAKER WON JUST THE FOURTH LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD IN BASEBALL HISTORY AFTER 56 YEARS IN THE MAJORS AS A PLAYER, COACH AND MANAGER. AND TODAY, THE GIANTS SPECIAL ADVISER STOPPED BY THE KCRA THREE STUDIOS TO CHAT ABOUT LIFE OUTSIDE THE DUGOUT. HE'S THE ONLY MAJOR LEAGUE MANAGER TO LEAD FIVE DIFFERENT TEAMS TO THE POSTSEASON, AND THE ONLY AFRICAN AMERICAN TO WIN A WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONSHIP AS A PLAYER AND AS A MANAGER. NOW, THE 74 YEAR OLD IS BACK HOME FOR HIS SECOND STINT WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS. FRONT OFFICE. I'M LOVING IT, ACTUALLY. YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF, YOU KNOW, I HAVE MY OWN SCHEDULE. I LOVE BASEBALL, I GET TO GO TO THE BALLPARK, YOU KNOW, A FEW DAYS A MONTH. UM, ACTUALLY HELPING BOB MELVIN, YOU KNOW, WHEN HE NEEDS IT OR WHEN HE REQUESTS IT. SO I'M JUST TRYING TO DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP HIM, TO HELP HIM WIN AND HELP BRING A CHAMPIONSHIP. HOPEFULLY BACK TO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN THE BAY AREA WHILE HE NOW JUGGLES BOTH THE BASEBALL AND BUSINESS SIDES OF THE GAME, HE'S FINDING PEACE IN HIS DECISION TO RETIRE AFTER 26 YEARS AS A MANAGER. I MISS THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND I MISS THE FANS. I MISS THE, YOU KNOW, THE INTERACTION WITH THE PLAYERS, THE GAME. SOMETIMES I DON'T MISS PRE AND POST OR THE AMOUNT OF TIME TRAVELING. BUT YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS ABOUT TIME FOR ME TO, YOU KNOW, LEAVE THE FIELD AND JUST BE THE SENIOR ADVISOR THAT I AM. DUSTY, STILL A STUDENT OF THE GAME, ONLY NOW HE'S SEEING IT THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS. THE GAME LOOKS LIKE IT'S SLOWER, I THINK BECAUSE YOU KNOW, YOU'RE IN ON EVERY PITCH. YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANYTHING ON THE FIELD, BUT I'M LOOKING AT IT DIFFERENTLY IN A WAY WHERE MY SON, WHO PLAYS WITH THE NATIONALS, HE YOU KNOW, I'M LOOKING AT IT IN A WAY WHERE I CAN SEE SOME THINGS THAT I CAN HELP HIM WITH, OR SOME THINGS THAT I CAN SUGGEST TO HIM OR HOW I WOULD LOOK AT THE GAME THROUGH HIS EYES. YOU KNOW, THROUGH A YOUNG MAN. SO YOU KNOW, I STILL LOVE THE GAME. I WATCH BASEBALL EVERY NIGHT. UM, YOU KNOW, THAHAT'S MY ENTERTAINMENT OR SOME TIME I WATCH BASKETBALL. NOT SOMETIMES, ALMOST ALL THE TIME DURING THESE PLAYOFFS, BUT IT'S BEEN A, YOU KNOW, IT'S BEEN FUN, YOU KNOW, BEING OFF THE FIELD. BUT I STILL GET TO GET ON THE FIELD SOMETIMES. AND WHEN DUSTY ISN'T TALKING BASEBALL, YOU CAN CATCH HIM IN WEST SACRAMENTO WHERE HE'S TEAMED UP TO START THE BAKER FAMILY WINES. WE LOVE TO SEE DUSTY BACK HOME IN SACRAMENTO. YES, WE REALLY DO. MICHELLE. THANK YOU. THAT WAS SO INTERESTING GETTING THE UPDATE, BY THE WAY. RIGHT NOW THE SAN FRANCISCO GIANTS ARE PLAYING THE COLORADO ROCKIES, AIMING FOR THEIR SECOND STRAIGHTHT WIN. JUST LIKE HIS VIBE JUST THE WAY HE IS. YOU KNOW, REALLY COOL. AN A
