SAMUEL BAINES (George DiCenzo), in Back to the Future, is the father of Lorraine Baines, father-in-law of George McFly, and maternal grandfather of Marty McFly. When he struck a boy with his automobile on November 5, 1955, he never imagined he would become the grandfather of a Grammy Award-winning American Top Forty artist.That, actually, would happen iln only one of the timelines that split from the main time stream on that day.For on November 5, 1955, in the original time line, Sam Baines struck and injured George McFly, who had been peeping at his daughter Lorraine through her bedroom window, which he could never convince her to draw the curtains across.But in every other timeline, it was not George McFly whom he hit, but a stranger, calling himself Calvin Klein and asking about a road named after an obscure Senator from Massachusetts named John Fitzgerald Kennedy.Because Sam Baines never does any time traveling, all that he experiences is the last timeline. In it, it is Calvin Klein whom he hits, not George McFly. A week later, Calvin Klein disappears, and Sam Baines never sees him again--though he might wonder why Marty McFly, leader of the highly successful Pinheads band, bears such a close resemblance to him. And in this timeline, George McFly is a son-in-law of whom he can be proud--coming to his daughters rescue against a vicious bully, and decking said bully with one punch. In short, fighting and taking up for himself like a man.He has two sons, Milton and Joseph, and another daughter, Sally. In the original timeline, his youngest son Joseph turns to crime and winds up at Chino, or perhaps San Quentin. Whether that is true of the other timelines is never made clear. Perhaps Sam has to support Joe, who never seems to want to get out of bed, but at least he can keep him out of prison, because his sister Lorraine is not the alcoholic overeater she is in the prime line.
