ChiSox hire Baker to manage
Signs contract through 2001 season
July 9, 1998

CHICAGO - Just over 24 hours after firing Terry Bevington as manager, the White Sox have hired Dusty Baker to fill that role through for the next few seasons.

Baker was fired by the San Francisco Giants earlier this season after that team got off to a 14-20 start. The White Sox are 38-50 through the All Star break.

Joe Nossek will return to his bench coach duties after having been initially designated as interim manager until a replacement had been officially hired. The White Sox will play their first game under Baker tonight, at home against the Kansas City Royals.
