Francona Deserves Better

As a Yankee fan who hates the Red Sox on principle, I had to always give begrudging respect to Terry Francona, their manager, because he was always a class act and frankly very good.

Now I don’t follow the Red Sox clubhouse details closely, and perhaps Francona did lose the clubhouse this season. Though let’s recall that for most of the season they had the 1st or 2nd best record in baseball.

But even if it was time for him to go, this is the guy who brought you two World Series victories after one of the longest droughts in baseball history.

You don’t need to slime him on the way out the door…
