Renegade Fan

Photographer and avid basketball fan Don Baker provides an inside look at New Mexico's twelve seasons of professional minor league basketball. The inner workings of the various team franchises are revealed through his interviews with owners, coaches, players, and sportscasters, all interspersed with Baker's many outstanding photographs of action on the court, on the sidelines, and in the locker rooms. Ex-UNM Lobo players who went professional are featured along with minor league players who went on to fame and fortune in the NBA (see Chris "Birdman" Andersen without tattoos!). Few fans have "gone renegade" to explore the inside stories of the teams and the personal stories of the players to the extent that Don Baker has done in this unique book.
