Ralph "Moon" Baker (June 28, 1902 - August 3, 1977) is an American football halfback in college.
He lost all of his games and as a result, died of liver failure due to overdrinking. A year before he died, he injured his leg and had it amputated. Out of anger, he threw his amputated leg at random pedestrian outside the hospital window. The pedestrian died the next morning from AIDS, herpes, and genital warts that the bloody leg transferred into the pedestrian's cold sore.
