Why is Dusty Baker sporting black gloves in the World Series of 2022?
The World Series never stops drawing notice to the little things, and Dusty Baker's black gloves are one of those little things. He has worn gloves of that colour before.
Dusty Baker is the manager of the Houston Astros, despite the fact that his full name is Johnnie B. "Dusty" Baker Jr. He has advanced to the World Series twice, both times
with the Astros. Having led the San Francisco Giants to the World Series in 2002, where they were defeated by the Los Angeles Angels, Baker is 0-2 as a manager in the World Series.
Nearly twenty years later, in 2021, he was back in the World Series as the manager of the Astros, and this time bad luck was going to visit Baker once more as he lost the
World Series to the Atlanta Braves. Nearly twenty years later, in 2021, he was back in the World Series as the manager of the Astros,

Dusty Baker is sporting black gloves for the second World Series, and the obvious explanation for this is that he needs to shield himself from Covid-19.
Since the 2021 World Series, Dusty Baker has been wearing black gloves to protect himself from the illness, according to his wife Melissa.
