Looking back at his stats, I now realize he was an awful offensive player. He's a career .251 hitter with just 25 homers in 16 seasons in the Majors. That’s the Tim Foli I remember. What I didn’t see as a kid was that he didn’t walk and had a very low on base percentage (.283 lifetime). We didn’t know about OBP back then. Not too good for a guy that the Mets picked first overall in 1968!

To his credit, Foli picked the right time to have his best season. In 1979, the Pirates acquired him from the Mets in mid-april. He hit .291 in 133 games for Pittsburgh, with 28 walks, 23 doubles and 65 RBI. His OBP for the season was a career-high .330 and the Pirates won the National League pennant. In the World Series, Foli batted .333 (10 for 30) as the Pirates defeated the Orioles in 7 games.
