1988 Topps Appreciation:  No offense to current Rays third base coach Tom Foley, but this isn't really a very exciting entrant into the 1988 Topps Appreciation series.  Foley played the bulk of his 13-year career with the Expos, appearing in 661 games with the club between 1986 and 1992.  He arrived in Montreal via a trade with the Phillies, with the Phils sending Foley and Lary Sorensen to the Expos for Skeeter Barnes and Dan Schatzeder on July 24, 1986.
