Local Boy Taylor Starts Pro Career With Green Bay Era
Pomona California native Gordon Taylor, a 21 year old 6 foot 183 pound right handed slugger, signed a five figure bonus with the Kansas City Athletics Group. He played for Grand Island Nebraska and Anderson College, hitting .417 in eight for 17 with three doubles a homer and four singles in his first reported stretch. He was praised as a strong hitter with a good attitude and could be moved up fast. He also earned athletic honors at Anderson and may serve as a punter rather than full time player due to his bonus. The Orioles and Phillies had shown interest before Rangazas chose the Athletics.
