Dan Baker is one of those announcers that if you don’t know him, you need to.  If you’ve never met him (we haven’t), you want to (and we do).  Baker, who recently dressed up as a Jedi for Star Wars Night at Citizens Bank Park to deliver the starting line-ups, has the look of that well-respected CEO, principal, or athletic director that’s known by many and brings an aura of respect wherever he goes.

Temple University:  Pitch perfect

Along with Lou Nolan, these are two men that when they talk, the people of Philadelphia listen.  Baker recently spent some time talking with a reporter from his alma mater, Temple University to talk about how he got to where he is today.  It’s a great read and an opportunity to learn about one of our living legends.
