As a kid in the 80s, I ADORED Tim Foli. Being a little guy myself, I loved seeing a major league little guy who had no homerun pop, no baserunning speed, only so-so singles hitting, only so-so fielding........but he was SUPERNATURALLY difficult to strike out!! I knew he was a key player on the '79s Pirates; but even decades later, its thrilling to know that in that '79 post-season, he came to bat 45 times and hit .333 with ZERO strikeouts. So he continued to be the best at what he did in the clutch situation of post-season play. Love him!!!

Foli was a fist round draft pick. He had a bit more talent than the other comment said
