Foley Now Hall of Famer: At his Hall of Fame induction legendary pitcher, Erik Foley reminisced about his baseball career: "My how time flies. It is only a mere moment from your first spring training game to your first oldtimer's game. But it a magnificent journey."
Today Foley was installed into the Brewers League Baseball Hall of Fame after his selection by the Baseball Writers Association.
Baseball's newest HOF inductee was one fine hurler. When Foley retired at age 40, he had registered 201 wins and 128 losses, struck out 2851 hitters, pitched in 479 games and compiled a 3.34 ERA.
Among the many people he mentioned in his induction speech was his first manager. "He gave me my first opportunity when he could have kept other people. I was lucky -- he was a Erik Foley fan. You can't get in the Hall of Fame without your first chance."
