1969 Topps #93 Joe Foy
About Joe Foy
Foy's 1969 Topps card, #93, pictures him with his new team after the expansion draft; it is a series-1 issue. With the Kansas City Royals, Foy rebounded with a .262 average, 11 home runs and career-high totals of 71 RBIs and 37 stolen bases while cutting his errors to 12. That winter Kansas City traded him to the New York Mets for Amos Otis and Bob Johnson, remembered as one of the worst trades in franchise history once Otis developed into a star.
Joe Foy grew up in the Bronx and signed with Minnesota in 1962 before the Red Sox drafted him. He tore through the minors, winning the 1965 International League batting title, MVP and Rookie of the Year with Toronto, and broke in at third base for Boston in 1966. Foy drew walks at an elite rate and helped anchor the 1967 pennant-winning Red Sox, batting in Boston's World Series loss to St. Louis. Weight and fielding struggles dogged him, and after 1968 the Red Sox left him unprotected; Kansas City took him in the expansion draft. A strong 1969 season led the Royals to trade him to the Mets, a deal remembered for the player Kansas City got back. His bat cooled in New York, and after a brief stop with Washington he was out of the majors by 1971. Foy later overcame substance-abuse issues and worked as a counselor for troubled youth.
