Can't imagine him getting another job.

The game has passed him by.

Baker was taken aback by the decision, telling USA TODAY Sports he was particularly stunned it took the club 10 days to get back to him with a decision.

"I'm surprised and disappointed," Baker told USA TODAY Sports. "They told me they would get back to me and I told them I was leaving town yesterday and they waited 10 days to tell me.

"I really thought this was my best year. We won at least 95 games each year and won the division back to back years but they said they wanted to go a different direction. It's hard to understand."

Baker, 68, says he wants to continue managing and has no intention of retiring.

I will laugh at the next franchise that signs Toothpick McWristbands. So hard.
