1977 Topps #76 Tim Foli
About Tim Foli
Foli was batting .175 when Montreal traded him to San Francisco for shortstop Chris Speier in late April 1977, yet Topps #76 still lists him with the Expos. He made an error in his first Giants game, with Bob Watson, who had broken his jaw four years earlier, batting next. He hit .221 for the year with 4 home runs, and on July 22 had the only two-homer game of his career.
Tim Foli was a shortstop who played 16 seasons, 1970 through 1985, for the Mets, Expos, Giants, Pirates, Angels and Yankees. The Mets made him the first overall pick of the 1968 draft out of Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, California, after he hit .562 as a senior. A contact hitter who rarely struck out, he led league shortstops in fielding percentage in 1980 and 1982, and finished with a .251 average and 25 home runs in 1,696 games. His fiery temper produced fights with a teammate, a Mets coach and opposing players. He was the starting shortstop on the Pirates team that won the 1979 World Series. He later coached for the Rangers, Brewers, Royals, Reds and Mets organization and managed Washington's Triple-A clubs. Teammates called him Crazy Horse for the way he paced the dugout.
