Today we celebrate the solid career of second baseman Tony Taylor
with a "Super Veteran" card I designed as part of the 1976 set.
Take a look:
Taylor was closing out a nice 19-year career in 1976 after
returning for three seasons with the team he starred for between 1960
and 1971, the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Cuban garnered over 2000 hits, 1000 runs scored, and 230 stolen bases to go along with his .261 career batting average.
His best season in the big leagues would arguably be 1963, when he
hit .281 with 102 runs scored, 180 hits, 20 doubles, 10 triples and five
homers while getting some "M.V.P. attention" for the only time in his
career (16th place) in National League voting.
Here's to you Tony...
