1960 Topps #294 Tony Taylor
About Tony Taylor
Antonio Nemesio Taylor Sánchez signed with the New York Giants organization out of Cuba in 1954, then converted from third base to second after the Chicago Cubs took him in the 1957 Rule 5 draft. By 1958 he was Chicago's starting second baseman — the role shown on his 1960 Topps card. Cuban teammates and writers called him "Chino," a nickname tied to his mother's Chinese ancestry, her family having changed its name upon settling in Cuba. Traded to the Philadelphia Phillies early in that 1960 season, Taylor made both All-Star Games that year and spent parts of 15 seasons in Philadelphia, becoming one of the franchise's most popular players and setting its record for games at second base. He hit .301 in 1970, made the defensive play that preserved Jim Bunning's 1964 perfect game, and featured in the first live transatlantic satellite broadcast in 1962. Taylor retired in 1976 with 2,007 hits after 19 seasons, then coached three decades for the Phillies, Giants, and Marlins.
