SAN JOSE — Jamie Baker announced Thursday afternoon he is taking a step back from his duties as a Sharks broadcaster to solely focus on his personal well-being.
In a statement first released by the Sharks and later by Baker himself via Twitter, Baker wrote, “As many of you are aware, I recently took some time away from the broadcast booth to focus on some personal health issues.
“And although the hockey-player mentality in me always wants to ‘play through the injuries’, I have decided to take a step back from broadcasting for a while to focus my complete energy on my personal wellness.
