Three Guys Before The Game – Michael Baker (The Touchdown Maker) Episode 213

Can one conversation change someone’s life?

Mike Baker says the answer is an emphatic “Yes”!

The former WVU wide receiver details how a chance conversation in a garden as a teenager sent him down a path of success both educationally and athletically.

As a member of West Virginia’s 1993 Sugar Bowl team that finished the regular season 11-0, Baker provides insight into the team’s success and explains how he went from freshman academic ineligibility to an honor student.

It’s an entertaining and revealing look into how Baker defied the odds to become an unforgettable member of Mountaineer football.

The “Guys” return next week with a new episode.
