Fellow Princetonian F. Scott Fitzgerald described Baker as “an ideal worthy of everything in my enthusiastic admiration, yet consummated, and expressed in a human being who stood within ten feet of me.”Had Hobey Baker not existed some clever wordsmith would had been compelled to create him. He is the only individual to be inducted in both the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Collegiate Hall of Fame.There were his brilliant feats of athleticism on the ice and gridiron, his daring deeds flying with the celebrated Lafayette Flying Corp. during World War One, and his mysterious, tragic death at such a young age.Like the mythical Icarus, Hobey Baker flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky, giving birth to his legend.Author and historian, Emil R. Salvini, brings the legend of Hobey Baker to life again in an exciting new book published by The Hobey Baker Memorial Award Foundation. The book contains a foreword by Senator Bill Bradley.
