<![CDATA[FRANCONA!]]>I, having been a huge Fan of Tito Francona (Terry's Dad), still have a hard time calling Terry "Tito" but that doesn't diminish his greatness as an MLB Manager. IMHO we should lock him up until HE says he's done. Not only is he a fantastic motivator, but his abilities to overcome adversity, come up with winning strategies when bats are silent & manage a pitching staff are mind boggling!

Thanks Terry, for guiding us to the World Series in 2016. We would never have made it without you.

Now let's win it all!!..............

GO TRIBE!!!

Mike

But let's not forget that the players are executing and making their pitches. Lots of team chemistry helps too.

Has he missed a trick yet in 2016? Even now with 3 of 5 starters out the INDIANS are in the World Series, amazing.
