Talk:Dusty Baker

From BR Bullpen

Are the two jokes appropriate for the article? jj137 (Talk) 22:16, 9 November 2007 (EST)

Re: the second joke: when Reggie Jackson signed as a free agent with the Yankees in 1977, he said that now he would be so famous someone would name a candy bar after him (just like the Baby Ruth bar). After Jackson was the hero of the 1977 World Series, a company did indeed make a "Reggie" candy bar, sold nationally for a while. The joke is that candy bars named after those other players would have rather unappetizing names. --Philippe 10:30, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Player head shots courtesy of David Davis. Many thanks to him. We have only selected seasons (players who debuted before 1960) for which we believe the image has reverted into the public domain. We will quickly remove any images for which that can be shown to not be the case.Please let us know if you are aware of any such images on this site.
