I think that says more about Dusty Baker than it does about that era. It was definitely considered stupid at the time.

I don’t have that much to add about D’Angelo that everybody else hasn’t already said, but I’ll just say we should be extremely grateful that we ever got ‘Black Messiah’ because that was far from a guarantee at the time.
