Reds manager Dusty Baker was momentarily denied access to Yankee Stadium on Friday. A security guard denied access to Baker, who was wandering around the front gates while chewing on a toothpick. "It's hard to get in this bad boy," Baker said. "Some guy asked, 'Hey, can I help you?' "I was in the front trying to get in. I said I was here for the game. "He told me, 'The gates aren't open yet.' "I told him, 'I'm the manager.' "He was like, 'Of what?' "I said, 'Of the baseball team.' "He said, 'What's your name?' "I said, 'Dusty Baker.' He still didn't know me. Another guy came over and recognized me."
