🔼 Glory Days at UVA! On his first Friday in May without an official baseball responsibility in some time, Chris Taylor still managed to carry a bat – a Wiffle ball bat.

Taylor is a recently unemployed father of two young boys. A member of the University of Virginia Baseball Hall of Fame, he announced his retirement from Major League Baseball on May 24 after 12 seasons.
