Of the many people who knew Tom Benson in the professional realm, few might have witnessed his transformation from team owner to league stalwart and football philanthropist as did Dave Baker.
Baker, president of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and former commissioner of the Arena Football League, saw it develop firsthand.
Benson brought the AFL to New Orleans with the VooDoo and then became a major donor to the home that enshrines the NFL's most recognized names, earning his name to the stadium that opens the league preseason every year.
Baker, a guest on Friday's "Dunc & Holder," said that Benson's influence and generosity to the game is something that he'll remember most about the Saints and Pelicans owner, and his legacy will be one that Canton, Ohio, never forgets.
