Timeline
Marvis Edwin Foley (born August 29, 1953) is an American former Major League Baseball (MLB) catcher and coach, and minor league manager.
In 1974 he played collegiate summer baseball with the Falmouth Commodores of the Cape Cod Baseball League and was named a league all-star.
In 1975, the Chicago White Sox drafted Foley in the 17th round of the 1975 MLB draft.
He was originally assigned to the Class-A Appleton Foxes, but was promoted to the Double-A Knoxville Sox after just six games.
He batted .293 at Knoxville in 51 games, and in 1976 he opened the season there again.
Foley's statistics declined somewhat in 1976, with his batting average dropping to .251 in his first full professional season.
In 1977, Foley split the season between Appleton (48 games), Knoxville (66 games), and the Triple-A Iowa Oaks (10 games).
Across all three levels, he batted .282 with 10 home runs.
He played for the Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers in all or part of five seasons between 1978 and 1984, went on to serve as a catching instructor for the Colorado Rockies, and is the only manager ever to win league championships in all three major Triple-A leagues (International League, American Association and Pacific Coast League).
Foley played college baseball at the University of Kentucky.
In 1978, he played the whole season at Iowa, batting .275.
After the Triple-A season ended, Foley was given his first taste of major league action.
He made his debut on September 11, 1978, against the Minnesota Twins.
He played in a total of 11 games that season, batting .353 in 34 at bats.
Foley started the 1979 season with the White Sox, splitting time as their primary catcher with Bill Nahorodny.
On May 27, the White Sox purchased Milt May from the Detroit Tigers, and Foley, who was batting .235, was sent down to Iowa.
He returned to the White Sox in September, finishing the season with a .247 average, 2 home runs, and 10 RBI.
Foley started the season with the White Sox in 1980, but again struggled at the plate, batting just .181 through July 3.
He was demoted to the minors, splitting the next two months between Iowa and the Double-A Glens Falls White Sox.
For the third season in a row, he returned to the majors in September, and by the end of the season he had brought his average up to .212, and had set new career highs with 4 home runs and 15 RBI.
In 1981, Foley opened the season in the minor leagues for the first time in three seasons.
He spent the full season with the White Sox' new Triple-A affiliate, the Edmonton Trappers, where he batted .296 and a professional best of 11 home runs.
In 1982, Foley was back in the majors, but as the White Sox' third-string catcher behind Carlton Fisk and Marc Hill.
He appeared in 27 games, with 36 at bats, in which he batted .111 with one RBI.
In 1983, it was back to Triple-A, again with a new White Sox affiliate, the Denver Bears.
This time, he had what would be his best batting average in a full Triple-A season at .319, and he hit double digits in home runs with 10.
However, after the season ended, he was allowed to become a minor league free agent.
A month later, Foley signed a contract with the Texas Rangers.
In 1984, Foley played a full season in the majors for the second time, splitting time at catcher with Donnie Scott and Ned Yost.
On the last day of the season, in the first game of a doubleheader against the California Angels, he made the final out of Mike Witt's perfect game.
It turned out to be his last at bat in the major leagues.
While he batted .217 in 1984, he established personal major-league bests with 6 home runs and 19 RBI.
After the season, he was released by the Rangers.
Foley signed on with the Detroit Tigers shortly after his release, but never played for them at any level.
Instead, he wound up back with the White Sox.
He split the next two seasons between Double-A and Triple-A in their organization before his playing career ended following the 1986 season at age 32.
During his final two seasons in the minors, Foley served as a player-coach.
In 1987, he was named manager of the Peninsula White Sox, and in 1988 he was promoted to the High-A Tampa White Sox.
