Gaines Baty releases inspirational story of his father, Champion of the Barrio. 

Gaines Baty says he was stunned to come across mention of his late father, Buryl Baty, while reading Jim Dent’s football best-seller, Twelve Mighty Orphans. Buryl died tragically when Gaines was 4, after becoming a legendary quarterback at Texas A&M and respected coach at Luling High School and Bowie in El Paso.

“My dad’s story is as inspirational as the one I’m reading,” Gaines decided, and he set about writing his father’s inspiring tale.

Gaines was right.
