Baseball 1983-84
Keith Foley joined the Florida Atlantic baseball team in only its third year of existence. The outfielder became the first baseball player to gain All-America recognition for a program that has now yielded 14 All-Americans, as he was named second team at the NAIA level in 1983. In 1984, Foley was in the initial class to be drafted when he was picked up by the New York Yankees. He held the record for hits in a season with 95 until the 2005 season, and is third in career batting average at .372 and in slugging percentage at .640. Foley's 95 hits led the nation in 1983. In his two seasons at FAU, he belted 28 home runs to rank 10th all-time in that category. Foley also had 154 total bases, in 1983, which lists him third all-time and a .545 on-base percentage which ranks eighth. Foley was one of six players to be inducted into the FAU Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005, a year the program celebrated its silver anniversary.
