Career

In the NFL, Baty was selected by the New England Patriots in the eighth round with the 220th overall pick in the 1986 NFL draft.^[1][2] However, after being a representative for the players' union during the 1987 players' strike, he was repeatedly picked up but waived by several teams, including the Los Angeles Rams, the Arizona Cardinals, the New York Giants, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, before having a longer tenure with the Miami Dolphins.^[2]

Personal life

His wife, Kathleen Gallagher Baty, was kidnapped by Lawrence Stagner, a former high school acquaintance, in Menlo Park, California, in May 1990.^[2] Through a surprise call from her mother, Kathleen Baty was able to alert the police before her kidnapper was able to take her away from her home.^[2] She was promptly rescued and Stagner arrested.^[2] Her case was one of several which led to the passage of anti-stalking laws in California.^[2] The incident was shown on an episode of Rescue 911 and Obsessed: Dark Obsessions.

Baty has been a resident of Sparta, New Jersey.^[3]
