The New York Mets say World Series winner and former Toronto Blue Jays team physician Dr. Ron Taylor has died.

The Toronto Blue Jays have become one of the best teams in baseball. Their most recent series was against the St. Louis Cardinals, sweeping the fellow bird team in three games.

Ron Taylor, a relief pitcher who helped the Mets win the 1969 World Series and became the Blue Jays’ team physician for three decades, died Monday.
