Edward Stanley Baker (9 November 1910 – 15 March 1992) was an English first-class cricketer: a wicket-keeper who played 32 first-class matches for Worcestershire in the 1930s. Baker attended, and played for, King Edward's School in Birmingham. He made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Gloucestershire at Cheltenham in 1933, taking two catches and scoring 0 and 5. He appeared thrice more that summer, taking a single catch and scoring two runs in his final two innings. In 1934 Baker was Worcestershire's regular wicket-keeper, a deliberate decision made by the county to allow Bernard Quaife to play as a specialist batsman. Baker played 28 times that summer, and ended the year with 38 dismissals (33 caught; five stumped), claiming a maximum of four dismissals in a single game, against Somerset in June.Baker played no first-class cricket after the 1934 season.
