Jack Taylor (19th Century Baseball Player) Alumnus Status

Greetings, all. My understanding is that it is not confirmed that "Brewery Jack" Taylor was an alumnus (or even a student) of Manhattan College. I believe some sources suggest that he may have been utilized by the Jaspers during some exhibition games of his time, but that College archives show no record of him ever having attended the school.

Of course, i'd love to be wrong!  :) If anyone has sources indicating Taylor's status as a student or alumnus of Manhattan College, please let me know! I'm assisting one of the leading researchers on Taylor, and would love to find anything indicating a formal connection between him and the College.

I'll leave his article in the category for a time while the issue is open, and propose that we seek to either cite a source confirming his alumnus status (in his article or elsewhere) or remove him from the list if none can be found. I'm also very open to suggestions/corrections if there are more standard ways of handling cases like this; i'm just trying to be proactive.  :)

Thank you and please let me know if there's any other info out there!

Jack Taylor (follow-up)

Hello again. It's been awhile since i've checked in. Having not heard anything, i'm going to propose removing this category from the "Brewery Jack" Taylor article. If no one objects within a few weeks, i'll go ahead and make the change. (I'll also try to track down the user who added it to confirm, if i can.)

Again, i'd be very very happy to see any sources to the contrary, but i haven't seen anything yet showing Jack Taylor's status as a graduate or student of Manhattan College.

Thanks and please feel free to respond here or write me if you have any info on this.
