Career
Baker played his early football at Scotch College and for Kew. Having not made any senior appearance while at Richmond, Baker made his league debut in 1931, with North Melbourne. A rover, he was their third leading goal-kicker in 1932 with 27 goals and was a VFL interstate representative in 1933.
His stint at Collingwood was short and his appearance in round 17 was the only senior game he would play for them.
Baker, who was also a professional runner, spent some time with the Brighton Football Club later in the decade.
