1971 Topps #246 Tony Taylor
About Tony Taylor
Taylor's second-series 1971 Topps card, #246, lists Philadelphia. In June the Phillies traded him to Detroit for pitchers Carl Cavanaugh and Mike Fremuth. He played 91 games between the two clubs that season, batting .267 with 24 RBI, and made 65 appearances at second base.
Tony Taylor played nineteen major league seasons for the Cubs, Phillies and Tigers, finishing with 2,007 hits, 234 stolen bases and a .261 average. The Cuban infielder began his professional career with Texas City in 1954. Chicago traded him and Cal Neeman to Philadelphia in May 1960 for Don Cardwell and Ed Bouchee; that summer Taylor played in both National League All-Star Games. He returned to Philadelphia for his final three seasons after his time in Detroit. After retiring as a player, he coached for the Phillies and worked in the Giants and Marlins organizations. He entered the Cuban Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981 and the Phillies Wall of Fame in 2002.
