Logan Taylor, a 25-year-old reliever for the Las Vegas 51s, the Mets' Triple-A affiliate, went through quite the ordeal this past weekend.
He was walking down the street in Salt Lake City when a homeless man apparently approached him and asked for his wallet. When Taylor declined and kept walking, the man hit Taylor in the back of the head with a tire iron. The assailant also had a sock full of rocks.
Taylor suffered a concussion and had to have more than five staples in his head. He's been placed on the DL, but he has been well enough to return to the team and seems to be in good spirits.
