NEW YORK -- The daily grind of Major League Baseball can create mind games for players, which is one reason Marlins catcher John Baker challenges his mind off the field by figuring out crossword puzzles.
A graduate of the University of California, Baker uses the daily puzzles as a mental breather.
"I think it's important to stay grounded in baseball," Baker said. "But I also think it's important to have an escape, especially when you're going through a streak like we're going through.
"When you lose a few games in a row, when you have something that gets you out of the baseball world and into the fantasy world, some guys do different things."
