I met Art Baker down in Fort Meyers for a college baseball trip.  I didn't know who he was but he pulled me off the team bus because I was wearing a SU shirt.  My coach thought I was getting arrested and didn't even question the imposing yet only 5-9 man.  He sat me down at the bar and bought me cranberry juice.  He then told me stories about Ernie Davis (said Ernie was the nicest guy on the team), Buffalo Bills and the importance of keeping my body healthy (at the time I was hurt).  I thanked him for the discussion and stories and proceeded to go back to my room and look up who he is.  He was 70!  He looked about 55 and was completely ripped and looked like a body builder.   He was a true gentleman and held SU in the highest regard and I remember one hysterical quote he gave me while watching NCAA basketball -  'long haired men don't deserve to be in sport uniforms.  I would have scalped those azzholes playing on the grid iron'.

I believe it.  Those old timers are a different breed.
