Ron Taylor was purchased by the Mets from the Houston Astros on February 10th, 1967. Taylor quickly settled in and became a force to be reckoned with in the back of the Mets bullpen. Over five seasons, he averaged a 3.05 ERA, amassed a 5.7 WAR, and was a vital part of the 1969 Miracle Mets. On October 20th, 1970, Taylor was sold to the Expos, ending his Met career. Ron retired in 1972 and currently lives in his home country of Canada.
Both of these balls were purchased off of eBay. I had hoped to send a ball through the mail, but Canadian postage is so expensive that it made more sense to just but one. He seems to have signed a lot over the years.
