Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker will appear on the Real Sports with Bryan Gumbel HBO show on March 21 according to a press release from Warner Brothers. 

The show is regarded as "the most honored sports journalism program on television with 36 sports Emmy® Awards" according to the release. It will debut on HBO and can be streamed on HBO Max.

The episode will cover Baker's life, playing and managerial career. It will highlight all of his accomplishments, including his recent World Series championship as well as what comes next for the legendary baseball icon.

Here is what the press release says about Baker and why they have included him on the show.

"73-year-old Dusty Baker has led an extraordinary baseball life. A two-time MLB All-Star during his playing days, Baker’s pursuit of an elusive World Series title as a skipper brought him to Houston in 2020 as the Astros sought to stabilize the franchise after being decimated by a sign-stealing scandal. The move worked as Baker became the oldest manager to win a championship in history as the Astros rolled to victory last fall. Correspondent Bryant Gumbel goes one-on-one with one of the game’s most admired figures."

The show will air 10:00 p.m. EST on March 21. It will be one worth tuning into, especially for Astros fans.
