Terry Francona Had a No-Good, Very Bad Day

February 21, 2023 Sports 5 Views

Terry Francona is entering his 11th season as manager of the Cleveland Guardians. It is his 32nd year in the dugout as a coach and 44th involved in professional baseball. He has, undoubtedly, seen everything there is to see in this game.

Yet even after all these years Francona still got so nervous for his annual team speech this morning that everything went wrong.

Terry Francona gave his annual team speech. He was so nervous he was drenched in sweat. He declined dinner w/ coaches last night so he could make edits. He made pasta, but it didn’t fully cook and broke his tooth. He arrived at camp at 3:30am & spilled coffee all over the speech.

Tremendous content that forces one to recall Kevin’s spilt chili and laugh all over again.

Great stuff. Tito is one of the characters that makes baseball great and it will be a sad day when he decides to save himself the stress of giving team speeches by retiring. Hopefully not too soon, though!
