Astros Manager Dusty Baker's Son Has Hilarious Tweet About Life Without Baseball
By Brady Williams
With baseball postponed from the NCAA all the way up to the Majors, a lot of players are having to find new ways to stay motivated. Darren Baker, new Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker's son, gave many others some inspiration with his hilarious solution on Twitter.
The self-deprecating tweet made fun of his hitting ability and reflected on how we're all itching for some sports action.
Day 18 without baseball: Played my walk-up song on the way to the fridge just to remember what it felt like to go back and take a seat.

In all fairness, if the average person had a walk-up song, we'd all probably be blasting it 24/7 in these circumstances. While the fridge is a little lackluster compared to his home field at Cal, we have to make sacrifices at the moment, don't we?
Bake, a junior, plays second base for the Golden Bears and was placed on the 2020 Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award watch list. Doesn't seem like he's taking many seats!
Top bats. ?

The 21-year-old has risen up MLB Draft boards recently. This past season with Cal, he was a perfect 21-for-21 on stolen base attempts to go along with a .306 batting average. He had a promising season ahead of him before the pandemic halted everything in our daily lives.
In the meantime, he's joining the rest of us in making frequent trips to the fridge.
