Got any ways for an Astros manager to bond with his players? Go fish
During a recent day off, manager Dusty Baker, left, and pitcher Hunter Brown were part of an Astros fishing foursome that also included utility man David Hensley and catcher Korey Lee.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Spring training is tedious. Days start at dawn and end near dusk. The games in between carry no importance and even less intensity. Participants must discover a way to interrupt the monotony. Some have their spouses or children around to offer a welcome distraction.
“He said it the day before the off day: It’s a good day to just let your brain take a rest,” Lee said. “We deserve it. We work really, really hard every day out here, so I think it was kind of something to pay it forward and continue to get better during the spring. … Get a little day off and ease the brain a little bit.”
“We all enjoy fishing,” Lee said. “It’s something that Dusty and I kind of bond about. We talk about fishing, talk about where we’re going to go fish. … It was a mutual bonding experience, and I think we had a really, really good time. And hopefully, we can continue to do it throughout the year and kind of make it a thing.”
