Does your HD know the history behind the baritone? The TC part exists because it was originally a TC reading instrument. When there was an important baritone part that needed to be played, a 3rd trumpet player would pick the horn up and play it.
Putting the baritone in BC was due to publishers that didn't want to print an additional Baritone TC part when the baritone & trombone parts were identical or very similar.
