CHICAGO (AP) _ Dusty Baker knows he'll have to be more than just a
manager in his new job. He'll be a teacher to young players, a rulemaker
_ if needed _ for veterans and maybe a psychologist.
"I'll try to get us all on the same page. I want to get rid of the
stigma that the Cubs can't win and that they can't win playing daytime
baseball," Baker said Friday when he accepted a four-year deal to
manage the Chicago Cubs.
Less than a month after leading the San Francisco Giants to the World
Series and then leaving after differences with owner Peter Magowan,
Baker has found a new home and formidable assignment that will test
his baseball acumen.
