Keith Baker

The speedy receiver signed with Montreal as a free agent in April of 1979, and played two seasons for the Als.  In his second season in 1980, Baker had 51 catches for 891 yards to capture his first of four consecutive East All-Star honours.  Baker was traded after 1980 to Hamilton in a very bad trade along with FB David Green for the rights to QB Vince Ferregamo.  Baker reeled off three seasons of 68, 80 and 66 catches as he was an East All-Star in all three years and All-Canadian in his 80 reception, 1282 yard, 1982 season.  Baker's stats dropped off in 1984 and with 24 catches in 8 games, he was released in September of 1984 and finished the season with Ottawa. Baker signed as a free agent with the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL in 1985, returning for a brief two game sting with Toronto in 1986.
