A Baseball Feelgood Story

There's no crying in baseball. But there are some occasional moments that bring a tear to the eye. The story of Johnathan Taylor might be one of those.

Earlier this year Johnathan broke his neck in a collision with UGA teammate Zach Cone.

Today he made it to the bigs.

But on Wednesday, he was chosen by the Rangers in the draft’s 33rd round. Cone was also drafted by the rangers on Monday. Texas Director of Amateur Scouting Kip Fagg said the team's selection of Taylor was "something we felt was right."
