1963 Topps #366 Tony Taylor
About Tony Taylor
The best year of Taylor's career. He hit .281 in 157 games with career highs of 180 hits and 102 runs, added 20 doubles, 10 triples, 49 RBIs and 23 stolen bases, and drew the only MVP votes he would ever receive. Gene Mauch said afterward that Bill Mazeroski, the standard at the position, was not close to Taylor that season, and the Phillies staged a Tony Taylor Day for him at Connie Mack Stadium. 1963 Topps #366 is a series-4 card with the Phillies.
Tony Taylor was a Cuban-born second baseman who spent 19 major league seasons, the bulk of them with the Philadelphia Phillies. He turned pro in 1954, came up through the New York Giants farm system, and jumped straight from the minors to the Chicago Cubs' starting second base job in 1958. Chicago sent him to Philadelphia with Cal Neeman in May 1960 for Don Cardwell and Ed Bouchee, and that summer he was named to the National League All-Star team, playing in both of the two All-Star Games staged that year, the only All-Star honor of his career. In Philadelphia he became the everyday second baseman and leadoff man, prized for his speed, steady glove and willingness to move to third base or first base when the roster needed it. He finished with a .261 average, 2,007 hits and 234 stolen bases, one of the most durable and popular Phillies of his era despite mostly losing teams. Traded to the Detroit Tigers in 1971, he returned to Philadelphia as a free agent for his final three seasons, then coached for the Phillies, Giants and Marlins across nearly three decades. He entered the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981 and the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2002.
