Vin Baker after 12 years of playing ball sadly had to pass it up due to his heavy alcoholism. He now works as a manager at Starbucks and also holds a post as a minister at his father’s church. He explained how his life is now, “I was an alcoholic, I lost a fortune. I had a great talent and lost it. For the people on the outside looking in, they’re like ‘Wow.’ For me, I’m 43 and I have four kids. I have to pick up the pieces.”
