The Best That Never Was

Mr. Dave Taylor Sr. himself

Mickey Mantle comes to Hartford!

In the early '70's Mr. Dave Taylor Sr. had organized a charity baseball game for the youth of Hartford and West Hartford. A Yankee's fan to his core, Mr Taylor called The Commerce Comet three times. The first two times he declined, rather politely its been told but the third time Mr. Taylor sweetened the pot and Mickey Mantle himself visited Hartford. The magic ingredient? An open bar tab at The Spigot.

The Taylor's and Rugby

The Taylor family for generations were volunteer groundskeepers for the Kirkcaldy Rugby Club in Scotland since its inception in 1894.

We have no idea who these people are or their significance. Any assistance is appreciated!
