CINCINNATI (AP) - Dusty Baker returned to the place he used to call home. The Nationals manager got a haircut and felt a little love from Reds fans would love to have him back.
Baker returned to town for a weekend series against the Reds, who fired him after another early-round playoff exit in 2013. Since then, the Reds have become one of the NL's worst teams. Baker's Nationals lead the NL East.
It's his first time back in town for baseball.
Baker got a haircut at his former barber shop on Friday. He said the chatter was about how much he was missed. He compared it to a girlfriend who breaks off the relationship but later decides that "maybe you weren't so bad after all."
