arghton 6,696 Posted July 8, 2022 New article (last week, behind paywall) on Otis Taylor, mentioned multiple times here: https://www.kansascity.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/vahe-gregorian/article261494677.html As mentioned here before he's been battling parkinson's and dementia for over 30 years, kept alive with different kinds of tubes for the last six or seven years, unable to move. The actual news that his health has gotten worse during the last few weeks: Several weeks ago, friends expressed concern that Taylor’s health had taken a dire turn. That left us reflecting on his legacy even as we hold out hope that Taylor will be on the Hall of Fame’s 25-man senior semifinalist list to be released next week. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
