Retiring Yankee Great John Franklin Baker Ends Baseball Career

John Franklin Baker, aging third baseman of the New York Yankees, plans to retire after his team disbands next month. After 19 years in the majors, the 42 year old, married farmer to be, will quit travel and return to his Trappe Maryland farm to live out his days away from professional baseball. His contract expires this season and he sees no further return to the diamond. Baker, once underappreciated, gained late career recognition as a great hitter and World Series hero, helped by a batting surge and the Yankees’ rising profile.
