1978 Topps #167 Tim Foli
About Tim Foli
The Giants sold Foli back to the Mets after 1977, and he replaced Bud Harrelson as New York's starting shortstop in 1978. This #167 card still has San Francisco on it. He played 113 games for a Mets club that had the National League's worst record, and he hit .257.
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.
