Cool discovery: Frank Baker's hunting gear
 

My dad and I were up in Havre de Grace, MD this afternoon. (HdG is where the Susquehanna empties into the top of the Chesapeake.) We stopped in to the Duck Decoy Museum, and the exhibit right by the front door was Frank Baker's duck hunting rig, including his shotgun, boat, and 200 decoys. Here's their pic of the exhibit:

Baker was from the Eastern Shore, and so would likely have never hunted around Susquehanna Flats, but the museum has decoys from all over.

To help illustrate Baker's importance as a ball player, they had a copy of his T227 on the signage. Totally unexpected, and very cool.

this is kind of funny-my avatar is me and my son fishing for smallmouth bass in the Susky and the guide we go with is Frank Baker. I have asked him and he has never heard of Frank Home Run baker.
