Brien Taylor Unmade: An oral history

His senior year in h.s. he was scheduled to pitch against our local high school in the playoffs in a single game elimination, but a rainout resulted in his not getting the start the next day. His team was up 2-0 in the 7th (h.s. games here are only 7 innings) when our team got runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Taylor came in in relief and threw 3 outs on 9 pitches/all strikes. IIRC not a one was even foul-tipped.
 
This would make for a great 30 for 30. Now if I just come up with a name for it. CHIN MUSIC OR BRUSHBACK
 
I have driven through the neighborhood (if you could call it that) where his family lived and he still lives in Carteret County. It is off of 101, which is a cut through on the way to the towns where you catch the ferry for Portsmouth Island and the Core Banks.

There are some rundown homes on stilts, then a larger lot with a brick house where Brien lives. All of the last names are Taylor.

I always assumed he was white.
