Original Toronto Star caption: The slogan over which former Leaf defenceman Bobby Baun and Detroit Red Wing great Gordie Howe are chuckling is a long way removed from their present status as revered members of the NHL past. Baun was the subject of glowing tributes to his qualities as a player in a dinner last night at the Westbury Hotel.
