Terry Francona Honored with Tribute Video Before Final Home Game as Guardians Manager

Scott PolacekSep 27, 2023

Cleveland got a chance to say goodbye to its winningest baseball manager.

The Cleveland Guardians honored Terry Francona with a tribute video ahead of their final home game of the season on Wednesday. The fans also showed their appreciation for what he has done for the franchise:

The Guardians hosted the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday ahead of a three-game road trip against the Detroit Tigers to finish the season.

Francona arrived in Cleveland as a baseball legend already from his time with the Boston Red Sox. He led Boston to the World Series title in 2004โ€”its first since 1918โ€”and again in 2007 while going 744-552 in his eight seasons with the team.

His final season with the Guardians is his 11th with the franchise, and he has a 919-755 record with three American League Manager of the Year awards and a World Series appearance during his time with the team.

There is plenty to celebrate, and the fans greeted him accordingly Wednesday.
