Taylor broke into the Majors with the Chicago Cubs at the end of the 1950’s before moving on to the Philadelphia Phillies in 1960, where he would play 15 of his years in the Big Leagues, with two years in Detroit in the early 1970’s squeezed in there.
By the time he retired in 1976, he finished with 2007 hits, 1005 runs scored and 234 stolen bases over 2195 games and 7680 at-bats, with an All-Star nod in 1960.
