Former Cardinals, Mets champion Ron Taylor dies at 87

Two-time World Series winner Ron Taylor, who became a doctor after his major league career ended, died on Monday. He was 87.

Taylor won titles with the 1964 St. Louis Cardinals and the 1969 New York Mets and never allowed a run in postseason play.

In 1969, he was a reliever on the team dubbed the "Miracle Mets" and led the club with 59 appearances. The right-hander had 13 saves with a 2.72 ERA that season. He earned a save in Game 2 of that World Series when he got the final seven outs against the Baltimore Orioles.
