Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame
Known as "Shake and Bake," the Trenton native graduated as the all-time record holder for reception yardage (2,268) and receptions (127). Baker, an Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American and first-team All-East selection in 1984, received the Homer Hazel Trophy as the team's most valuable player that year. His 857 receiving yards in 1983 was second all-time in a season. Baker was known for the acrobatic, leaping catches that he routinely made.
