About Chuck Taylor
Taylor appeared in 56 games for the 1970 Cardinals, seven of them starts, and pitched 124 1/3 innings. He went 6-7 with a 3.11 ERA and eight saves. His #119 is a rookie card from the first series, issued with the St. Louis Cardinals.
Chuck Taylor was a right-handed pitcher, mostly a reliever, who worked eight major league seasons for the St. Louis Cardinals, New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers and Montreal Expos. A Tennessean who attended Bell Buckle High School and Middle Tennessee State University, he signed with the Cardinals in 1961, was traded to Houston in February 1964, and returned to St. Louis midway through 1965 with Hal Woodeshick in the deal that sent Mike Cuellar and Ron Taylor to the Astros. A season at Tulsa in which he started 34 games and went 18-7 with a 2.35 ERA earned him a roster spot at age 26. He debuted on May 27, 1969, relieving Ray Washburn, and gave up the winning run to Atlanta. After the Mets and Brewers in 1972 he was released in March 1973 and signed with Montreal, where he finished his career on October 3, 1976. He went 28-20 with a 3.07 ERA and 31 saves in 305 games. Taylor died in 2018.
