Biography Foley attended Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he played football, basketball, and baseball. An outfielder on the baseball team, he was signed by the New York Giants in June 1928, the same month that he graduated. His first appearance was on July 4, in the first game of a home doubleheader against the Brooklyn Robins. In the bottom of the seventh inning, with Brooklyn leading, 7–1, Foley pinch hit for pitcher Tiny Chaplin. When Foley re-joined the Giants is unclear, as he made a second appearance on September 10, in the second game of a road doubleheader versus the Boston Braves. In the top of the seventh inning, with the Giants leading, 7–0, Foley again pinch hit, this time for catcher Shanty Hogan. With runners on second and third with one out, Foley drew a walk against Braves' pitcher Foster Edwards, loading the bases. However, Foley does not appear in the statistical summary of Bridgeport's 1929 season.

By October 1940, Foley was married and working for the board of education in his hometown of Naugatuck, Connecticut. He was inducted to the athletics hall of fame at Catholic University in 1977. Foley died in March 1980 in Vero Beach, Florida, and was interred in Naugatuck.
