Brian's Bio
Brian Baker is a proud graduate of Ball State University, and is betting his bottom dollar you don't know where that is. He played a variety of sports growing up, including both lacrosse and hockey at the collegiate level. He has a real job and real interests, but still finds himself known around the office as "that guy that likes Detroit". He has lived in many different places and experienced a wide variety of sports in very different markets including Buffalo, Indianapolis, Miami, Detroit, and Minneapolis. He knows about the pinnacle of the sports world through a few championship seasons here and there, but sees the other end of the spectrum every time the Lions play.
