LILLY AND JEFFRIES RE-OPEN THE 1945 CASE INVOLVING A BASEBALL GREAT, CLYDE "THE GLIDE" TAYLOR, WHO WAS MURDERED

WITH HIS OWN BAT, ON A REBROADCAST OF "COLD CASE," SUNDAY, FEB. 12

"Colors" -- Lilly and Jeffries investigate the 1945 case involving baseball great Clyde "The Glide" Taylor, who was beaten to death with his own bat, on a rebroadcast of COLD CASE, Sunday, Feb. 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Paris Barclay directed the episode that was written by Sean Whitsell. (Originally broadcast 10/16/05)

Clyde was beaten to death with his own bat after a game and the only evidence Lilly and Jeffries have to go on is his bloodstained jersey with tobacco stains on the chest. The suspect list grows to include Clyde's closest friend, his girlfriend and a racist major league pitcher, none of whom are talking or providing any clues to help detain a killer. With the trail running cold, Lilly and the team are forced to retrace their steps.
