Mike made his NHL debut for the Scouts at Maple Leaf Gardens against the Toronto Maple Leafs on October 9, 1974 and played his final NHL game on December 14, 1974 against the Vancouver Canucks suffering a career ending eye injury.

The Baumgartners farmed for 37 years raising wheat, sunflowers and other grass seeds. As of November 2018, Mike and Sandy had four children and ten grandchildren.
