USA – Mike Taylor will have to watch his long hoped-for revival of Redford Township baseball from the sidelines.

Taylor, the veteran Redford Union varsity baseball coach and star first baseman for the Panthers in the late 1990s, submitted his letter of resignation in mid-December in order to focus on completing his college education, said athletic director Brett Steele.

“I hate to lose good people and Mike’s been good for our district, good for our program,” Steele said. “He’s been our baseball coach for a number of years now so it was disappointing to hear. But I do understand it. He’s at a crossroads right now with his education and things like that and so he’s got to try and find and finish that up.”

Taylor could not be reached for comment about his decision to leave the Panthers, the team he handled capably since 2003.
