They may be rivals on the field, but when the bats are down and the gloves off, Hatboro and Upper Moreland little leagues are playing for the same team. Team Taggart. Bobby Taggart, 14, who recently moved to Upper Moreland, but spent most of his life in Hatboro – playing for Hatboro Little League since age 5 – was diagnosed in January with a rare form of bone cancer.
