About Roy Foster
On December 2, 1971, at the Winter Meetings, Cleveland sent Foster, Rich Hand, Mike Paul and Ken Suarez to Texas for Del Unser, Denny Riddleberger, Terry Ley and Gary Jones. On April 3, 1972, Texas traded him back to Cleveland with Tommy McCraw for Ted Ford. His #329 in the third series of the 1972 Topps set lists him with the Rangers, and his 73 games that year, with a .224 average and four home runs, came with Cleveland.
Roy Foster was an outfielder who reached the majors with Cleveland in 1970 and played through 1972. Born in Bixby, Oklahoma, on July 29, 1945, he came to the Indians from the Milwaukee Brewers, along with Frank Coggins and cash, in exchange for Russ Snyder and Max Alvis on April 4, 1970. He debuted on April 7 and hit .268 with 23 home runs and 60 RBI as a 1970 rookie, and he drew one vote for the American League Rookie of the Year Award. Over 337 games he batted .253 with 45 home runs and 118 RBI. He died in Tulsa on March 21, 2008, at age 62, and was inducted posthumously into Booker T. Washington's Ring of Honor in 2022.
