All hope was lost for Hendry the day he hired Baker. Agreed. Really? Obviously it didn't work out well, but at the time, I was happy about it. I thought, "Hey, a manager that I've heard of before! What a treat!" I had no idea how [expletive] in the head he was. I was also in 8th grade. A lot of people liked the celebrity manager aspect of it, including Hendry. But that team, centered entirely around young arms, needed somebody completely different.
