David Baker Is the Face of the Pro Football Hall of Fame

MIAMI BEACH — David Baker is taller than the door. No, this is not an optical illusion, though the white pinstripes on his massive black suit play tricks on the eyes, somehow making his 6' 9", 400-pound frame seem even larger. He knocks unnaturally high up on the door frame, just a few inches from the top, making a regular-sized hotel-room door look fun-sized. Is it too mean here to compare to a more human version of the Beast from Beauty and the Beast? Because that is really what he reminds me off, he’s large and hairy and slightly hunched.
