Show Notes
Tim Foli joins us on the podcast this week. Tim played in the Majors from 1970-1985. His statistics don't jump out at you, but he was a very good defensive shortstop and hit very well, mostly out of the 2nd spot in the batting order. Tim played for the New York Mets, Montreal Expos, then the Mets again before he was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1979. He and the acquisition of Bill Madlock propelled the Pirates to a World Series championship in that 1979 season. He also filled in for an injured Rick Burleson in 1982 and helped the California Angels to the ALCS. Tim was a very good shortstop in the time he played. Join us when we go Back When There Was Baseball and review the career of Tim Foli.
