“Any kid who eats, sleeps and breathes sports, grows up wanting to play for their hometown team,” Foley said in his statement Wednesday. “Thankfully for me, I realized early on that my playing career wouldn’t last beyond intramurals and that broadcasting was the next best thing to staying around the game.”
