Passing: Red Foley, Scorer in 10 World Series (AP)

From The Associated Press through The New York Times:

Red Foley, who was an official scorer in major league baseball for almost four decades, working in more World Series, 10, than any other scorer in modern history, died on July 14 in Flushing, Queens. He was 79.

Foley was a sports writer for The Daily News in New York for 34 years, retiring in 1981. He covered baseball almost exclusively from 1970 on, mainly the Mets. During those years, he had a question-and-answer column, “Ask Red,” which ran in The New York Post after he left The Daily News.

He served for many years as an officer of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and was chairman of the New York chapter in 1969-70.
