Want to feel old?
Remember when Dusty Baker was manager of the San Francisco Giants and his bat boy son ran onto the field during the 2002 World Series and had to be snatched up mid-play by J.T. Snow?
Yeah, that little kid will be playing in a big league game soon.
The Washington Nationals called up Darren Baker to the majors Sunday as part of their September roster expansion. It’ll be his first major league stint after the Nats first drafted him in 2017 when Dusty was the team’s manager, then again in 2021 after he opted for college.
In Game 5 of the 2002 World Series, J.T. Snow pulled Dusty Baker's son and Giants bat boy, Darren Baker, out of the way during a play at the plate.
22 years later, the Nationals are calling Darren up to the big leagues. 👏 pic.twitter.com/0pOQd3scdY
