About Samuel “Bay” Taylor
Lived 1929 – 2019 (aged 90). Samuel “Bay” Taylor was an American baseball player.
Samuel "Bay" Taylor (January 27, 1929 – April 8, 2019) was an American catcher and left fielder who played in the Negro leagues. Listed at 5' 6" , 195 lb. , he batted and threw right handed.
Born in Charleston, Missouri, Taylor started his baseball career in East St. Louis, Illinois while playing for the local East St. Louis White Sox. He later played for several East St. Louis teams before joining the legendary Kansas City Monarchs of the Negro American League from 1952 through most of 1954 under manager Buck O'Neil. Afterwards, Taylor played with the Indianapolis Clowns late in 1954.
Unfortunately, there are not statistics for the Negro leagues in the post-integration era. Taylor enjoyed his best season when he hit a .325 batting average with 25 home runs and 51 RBI for a St. Louis team called the Midgets, according to his estimation.
Taylor died in 2019 in St. Louis, Missouri at the age of 90.
