Edward Stanley Baker Cricketer
Edward Stanley Baker (9 November 1910–15 March 1992) was an English cricketer: a wicket-keeper who played 32 first-class matches for Worcestershire in the 1930s. Baker attended, and played for, King Edward's School in Birmingham. He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham in 1933, taking two catches and scoring 0 and 5. He appeared thrice more that summer, but took only one more catch and scored just 1 and 1 in his two remaining innings. In 1934 Baker was Worcestershire's regular wicket-keeper, a deliberate decision made by the county to allow Bernard Quaife to play as a specialist batsman. Baker played 28 times that summer, and ended the year with 38 dismissals, although in any single match he never claimed more than the four dismissals (all caught) he managed against Somerset in June. Baker played no first-class cricket after the 1934 season.
