1970 was to be the last full season of Tony Taylor's first stint with the Phillies. Playing all three infield positions, and occasionally left field, Taylor made it into 124 games that season, hitting .301with a career high 9 home runs and 55 RBIs. He began the 1971 season with the club, but then was traded in June to the Tigers for a pair of minor leaguers. Taylor would come back to the Phillies for his second stint as a player from 1974 to 1976, and he served as a coach with the team between 1977 and 1979, and again between 1988 and 1989.
Incidentally, his card is probably my favorite Phillies card from the entire 1970 Topps set.
In 1970, Tug McGraw was coming off the Mets' improbable World Series victory the year before. Sharing closing duties with Ron Taylor, McGraw saved 10 games and had an ERA of 3.28 in 90 2/3 innings pitched. McGraw was traded to the Phillies following the 1974 season.
