Playing career: Outfielder Ricky Baker played six seasons in
the Indians and Cubs organizations. In 664 games he hit .276 with 14 HR, 219
RBI and 249 SB. A fuller account of his career can be found at Jackson’s Autographs.
Where he is now: A Physical Education teacher at Oak Park River Forest High School in Illinois.
My memories: Only know him from his card.
Google Autocomplete results: He is eighth when you type
Ricky Ba, between Ricky Bats, a musician, and Ricky Bahl, referring to the
Bollywood movie Ladies vs. Ricky Bahl. The first entry when you google Ricky
Baker is not the ballplayer but a character from the movie Boyz n the Hood.
Coming up next: The next profile will be Darryl Banks.
