"With the First Pick of the Draft, the New York Yankees Select Pitcher Brien Taylor" (1991)


Listen Later

Today is August 26, 2016. Travel back with me to this day in 1991. This a week of guys named Brien as we once again travel back to New York, this time for the 1991 MLB Draft. But unlike our journey yesterday when we watched Brian Lesher make his Major League debut and Major League history, today we will see the other, sadder side of the game. Today we’ll watch the New York Yankees take 19-year old left-handed pitcher Brien Taylor as the first overall pick of the draft, and we’ll watch as Taylor goes from being the number one prospect in baseball to a guy who will never make it past Double A.
