October 20th, 1989: "Baird Caps Record Year"

In the process of adding the Gee-Gees' 1989 results to their page, I came across the following milestone for one hall-of-famer-to-be.

Gee-Gees QB Cam Baird receives plaque for setting OQIFC season scoring mark from Rider Chris Skinner who had the old standard while at Bishop's.

And Baird did it rather convincingly.

As stated above, the team was 5-2 that year. They would go on to defeat Concordia in the playoffs, their first post-season victory since 1980, I believe. They would lose the following weekend to Queen's, the  team that handed them their two regular season defeats that season and their playoff exit in 1988. 

As for Baird specifically, he was named the conference's most valuable player that year and inducted into the Gee-Gees hall of fame in 2009.
