Someone asked Russell Baze, who won more races as a jockey than anyone, anywhere — which is a relatively large segment of society — how many times he had fallen off a horse of the 53,000-plus he had ridden.
“None,” said Baze before he was inducted Monday night into the Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame. “Been thrown off some and jumped off others, but never fallen off any.”
