Keith Foulke
Inducted: April 25, 2015
Bio: As the only Warrior to be named an MLB All-Star, and the only one to have won a World Series title, Keith Foulke's career stands out among the 16 big leaguers in Lewis-Clark State's history.
Drafted in the ninth round of the 1994 draft by the San Francisco Giants, the right-handed closer's Major League career spanned 11 seasons. It culminated with an All-star season with Oakland in 2003, and a World Series Championship with Boston in 2004. Foulke was on the mound when the final out of 2004 World Series was made as he induced Edgar Renteria of the St. Louis Cardinals to hit a come-backer to the mound, which he flipped to first to clinch the Red Sox' first title since 1918.
For his career, Foulke pitched 619 games and 786 innings, tallying 227 saves, 718 strikeouts to 194 walks, an ERA of .333, a WHIP of 1.08, and a record of 41-37. He led the American League with 43 saves in 2003, and ranked in the season top 25 in major statistical categories 15 other times.
Foulke, who transferred to LCSC from Galveston College, played one year for the Warriors in 1994, and his name is listed more than once in the program record books. For single-season marks, he is tied for sixth in innings pitched (111), tied for ninth in strikeouts (94), and tied for 19th in wins as he went 10-3.
