<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>A bank is foreclosing on the Old Saybrook restaurant owned by former Celtics [team stats] forward Vin Baker. TD Banknorth N.A. holds a nearly $1 million mortgage on Vinnie's Saybrook Fish House and claims the restaurant's owner has defaulted on it. The bank has filed a lawsuit in Middletown Superior Court. Officials say the restaurant has been closed for weeks. Baker, who grew up in Old Saybrook, played for the University of Hartford before playing in the NBA for 14 years. Baker has had other problems. He was arrested last June and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Last month he pleaded guilty in Norwich Superior Court to the lesser charge of reckless driving.</div> Source Well, it's good to see that he has learned his lesson. Also, isn't it fitting that TD BankNorth is the bank that is doing the dirty work?
You know, it really sucks for him. I liked Vinny, he seemed like a decent guy, it's just a shame that he's pretty much throwing his whole life away.
man it's a crying shame how his life is turning out. I used to love to watch him play for the Bucks and because he was from the Boston Area, I always hoped he'd sign with the C's as a FA or something. He coulda been a very good PF and instead he let his vices get the best of him.
