'''"Big" Mitch Baker''' is a biker in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; he is a Vietnam veteran, and apparently earned a Purple Heart | '''"Big" Mitch Baker''' is a biker in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]; he is a Vietnam veteran, and apparently earned a Purple Heart while killing a village full of Viet Cong. He believes that [[Vice City in GTA III Era|Vice City's]] police mistreat veterans (or at least, disaffected and violent ones such as himself), which has consequently led to innumerable clashes and 13 (presumably brief) stints in jail. He runs a local [[Vice City Bikers|biker gang]] from [[the Greasy Chopper]] bar and is extremely loyal to his "family". [[Tommy Vercetti]] has to earn Baker's respect before he can get the gang to provide security for a [[Love Fist]] concert - this arrangement may be a parallel to the disastrous [[wp:Altamont_Free_Concert|real-life Rolling Stones concert at Altamont Speedway]] in 1969. | ||
Mitch calls into [[V-Rock]], Vice City's rock-and-roll radio station, complaining of the fact that they play too many hair bands and not enough hard rock. His name may be a [[wp:Spoonerism|Spoonerism]] of "bitch maker". | Mitch calls into [[V-Rock]], Vice City's rock-and-roll radio station, complaining of the fact that they play too many hair bands and not enough hard rock.
