Red Foley - Asked and Answered

My big question from yesterday was "Who is Red Foley?"

Matt from Once a Cub was kind enough to send me the answer.

He sent this bio of Red Foley from the 1991 sticker book.  Reader Brent also added a comment with similar information.

This is what Red looked like.

Red went to work at the New York Daily News right out of high school, in 1947.  He retired from the same newspaper after a 34-year career, in 1981. 

Along with his writing duties, Foley worked as an official scorer for both New York franchises.  He started in 1966 and continued scoring until 2002, over 3000 games.

It would be safe to say that the guy knew baseball.  Adding his name to the sticker book would certainly give it some credibility, especially to those on the east coast.
