Playing career
Bobby Baun began his NHL career with the Toronto Maple Leafs in the 1956-57 season. While he played a total of fourteen seasons, over two different stints, with Toronto, he also played for the Oakland Seals and Detroit Red Wings. Baun was never much of an offensive threat as a defenceman as his highest goal total was eight in one season. However, he will forever be remembered for scoring the overtime winner in game six against the Detroit Red Wings in the 1964 playoffs on the 23rd of April. Earlier in that same game, he had had his ankle broken. He then returned from his injury in overtime to score the game winner. The Leafs won the next game, game seven, 4-0 for their third consecutive Stanley Cup.
