John W. "Jack" Taylor (January 14 1874 - March 4 1938) was an award-winning right-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball for the Chicago Cubs baseball team. He was born in New Straitsville, Ohio.
He made his major league debut with the Cubs on September 25, 1898. His best years as a pitcher were 1900 (2.55 earned run average), 1902 (1.33 ERA with 7 shutouts; #1 in the league), 1903 (2.45 ERA), and 1906 (1.99 ERA). His career average was 2.66 ERA.
In 1904, Taylor set a major league record by pitching 39 consecutive complete games. Taylor actually threw 187 consecutive complete games between June 1901 and August 1906, but this streak was interrupted by 15 additional relief appearances. Thus Taylor appeared in 202 consecutive games without being relieved himself.
Taylor and fellow Cub Larry McLean were traded to the St. Louis Cardinals in return for Mordecai Brown and Jack O'Neill in December of 1903; he was then traded back to Chicago in July of 1906 (in return for Fred Beebe and Pete Noonan).
Thus he was part of the wonder team of the 1906 Cubs; that year the ERA for the entire pitching staff was 1.76. He also contributed to the World Series-winning season in 1907.
Taylor died in Columbus, Ohio at the age of 64.

Jack Taylor (c. 1946 .February 4th, 2006 -], Bradford, West Yorkshire) was the fattest man in Great Britain, now deceased.
He weighed 50 stone (700 lb) and had to wear specially made trousers of 80 in waist. He became all but a recluse, spending his days simply eating and watching videos, and venturing outside exclusively for hospital appointments. He achieved notoriety in Germany for his eccentric appearance, notably his wig, which he fashioned himself from electric tape. If anyone asked him about his "hair", he has only said "It's Jack's Creation!".
Taylor's diet was said to consist of up to 15 tandooris each day (referenced in The Guardian obituary below). He achieved some notoriety as a result of his size, including appearing on the TV show The Fattest Men in Britain alongside Barry Austin.died February 4th, 2006 at the age of 60 from a heart attack. ]].
Jack Taylor (born Barnsley, Yorkshire, February 1914, died Barnsley, 22 February 1978) was an English footballer and manager.
Jack Taylor was a full-back who started his playing career with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1931. He stayed until 1938 when he was transferred to Norwich City. After guesting for Barnsley and Watford during the war, in July 1947 he joined Hull City who at the time were managed by former Sunderland and England inside-forward, Raich Carter. He was part of the side that won the Third Division North championship in 1948-49. From May 1950 to June 1952 he was the player-manager of non-league Weymouth. June 1952 saw him replace Dave Mangnall at QPR who had been recently relegated from the Second Division. The 1950s were a pretty bleak decade for QPR after relegation in 1952 and under Jack Taylor they never managed to finish higher in the league than 10th. In addition to this they suffered two humiliating FA Cup defeats to non-league opposition including a 6-1 thrashing by Hereford United in the 2nd round in December 1957. Taylor left Rangers in May 1959 to take over at Leeds United but within a year Leeds were relegated to the Second Division and he resigned in March 1961 to be succeeded by Don Revie. He was never to manage in league football again.
He died in his home town of Barnsley in February 1978.

John Besson "Brewery Jack" Taylor (May 23, 1873 - Feb 7, 1900) was a baseball player in the National League from 1891 to 1899. He is often confused with John W. "Jack" Taylor, who also played in the NL during an overlapping period. His real name has also been erroneously published as John Budd Taylor in many sources, perhaps confused with the Minor League pitcher Jack "Bud" Taylor of similar period. John Besson Taylor was born in Sandy Hill, Maryland and moved to Staten Island, New York as a young child, where he played with would-become Major League contemporaries Jack Cronin, Jack Sharrott, George Sharrott, and Tuck Turner.
"Brewery Jack" was a right-handed pitcher with a career record and 120 wins and 117 losses. His nine-season career consisted of (in chronological order) one game for the 1891 New York Giants, six seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies, one with the St. Louis NL Browns, and a final one with the Cincinnati Reds. While an ace pitcher, Taylor was known for arguing with umpire calls and (as his nickname implies) for his propensity for drinking. Taylor was still considered active in the National League during planning for the 1900 season, but died of Bright's disease in February of that year. He is buried nearby his mother at Fairview Cemetery in the Castleton Corners neighborhood of Staten Island, and was inducted into the Staten Island Sports Hall Of Fame in 2002.
