He also served as a coach for the San Diego Padres from 1997 until 2003, the first four years as bullpen coach, then a season-plus as pitching coach. He is currently a scout for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Booker's wife, Kristi, is the daughter of long-time major league manager Jack McKeon and his son Zach is a catcher in the minor leagues.
