It took 15 years, but Darren Baker will finally be encouraged to hang around home plate. The Washington Nationals selected Dusty Baker's son, the same one who was nearly involved in a collision at the plate during the 2002 World Series, in the 27th round of the 2017 Major League Baseball draft on Wednesday. During the seventh inning of Game 5 of the 2002 World Series, he, was nearly run over at home plate after a two-run single from San Francisco Giants outfielder Kenny Lofton.
