Foor was actually on card #257 in the 1972 Topps set along with Tim Hosley and Paul Jata, something that immediately occurred to me as I was putting this post together.
Nevertheless, I don’t want to “waste” the effort, so here’s a “dedicated rookie” for the 13-game Major League pitcher, who made his Big League debut during the 1971 season with three games.
Over those three games, Foor didn’t factor in a decisions and pitched to an eye-gouging 18.00 earned run average over one single inning, walking four and giving up two hits while also striking out two.
He’d be back in 1972 with seven appearances for Detroit, going 1-0 with an ERA of 14.73 over 3.2 innings, all out of the bullpen for the American League East champ Tigers.
In 1973 he’d find himself a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates, appearing in three games and not factoring in a decision, throwing 1.1 innings of scoreless ball.
However, after another three seasons of Minor League work in the Kansas City, St. Louis and Oakland systems through the 1976 campaign he’d call it a career, finishing up with a record of 1-0 over 13 appearances, with an ERA of 12.00 in six innings of work, all out of the ‘pen.
