Dusty and His Chip

In his profile of Dusty Baker, was Mike Downey actually writing about the same guy who currently manages the Giants?

Dusty Baker a good manager? Let’s wait until October and then decide. Wasn’t Dusty at the helm in 1993 when the Giants handed a division title to the Braves? What’s Baker’s record the past three years?

Dusty Baker has an enormous chip on his shoulder with “Dodgers” written all over it. Baker openly harbors as much bitter, irrational animosity toward the Dodgers as the average whining Giants fan. The Giants and Baker are a perfect fit. They deserve each other.
