OH GEEZ, TERRY FRANCONA HAS A MANAGING GIG

It looks like Terry Francona is working officially in major league baseball again. Where? Well, not Boston.  The Clevland Indians have signed him on. According to Boston.com, "The 53-year-old will be formally introduced as Cleveland’s 42nd manager during a Monday news conference at Progressive Field.

'I’m really excited,' Francona said on the air as an ESPN analyst, his job for the past season. 'People who don’t know me may have thought I was looking for something different.'


The Indians chose Francona over Sandy Alomar Jr., who served as the club’s interim manager for the final six games after Manny Acta was fired on Sept. 27. Francona and Alomar, who spent the past three seasons as a coach in Cleveland, were the only candidates to interview for the Indians’ opening."

A guess a slots opened at ESPN and no doubt they'll bring back Bobby Valentine if they haven't already.
