Gary Baker, EditorAs a life-long supporter of both Detroit and Michigan sports, Gary Baker has learned to live with the disappointment — outside of the Detroit Red Wings. His love for the Tigers and baseball began early on, as the voice of Ernie Harwell was audible from the radio in the window on many summer nights in the 90’s. His greatest Tiger memory was attending the 1993 game when Cecil Fielder hit a 3-1 Dave Stewart offering over the left field roof at Tiger Stadium — making Fielder the only Tiger to do so. Only two others —Harmon Killebrew and Frank Howard — did the same. A former high school beat writer, Gary has covered several opening days at Comerica Park, as well as ALDS contests. He is an editor for Motor City Bengals, and still contributes for his hometown newspaper. Gary resides in Coldwater, MI.
