Dusty Baker has won the Lifetime Achievement Award presented by Baseball Digest.

Baker retired following the 2023 season after spending 56 years in the Major Leagues as a player, coach and manager.

He was honored Thursday with the fourth annual distinction that "recognizes a living individual whose career has been spent in or around Major League Baseball and who has made significant contributions to the game."

"Receiving this award is a tremendous honor," Baker, 74, said in a news release. "I never thought that I'd be in the class of the people that received this award. I know that my late mom and dad would be proud of me. This is really special."
