Terry Francona Hilariously Roasts Rays Manager With Priceless Pre-Game Troll
Known as “Tito” to players and fans, Terry Francona is not just a successful baseball manager, but also a master prankster. With his sharp wit and mischievous sense of humor, Francona has managed to lighten the tense atmosphere of Major League Baseball and bring a little laughter into the game.
Francona, who is currently the manager of the Cleveland Indians, has a long history of pulling off hilarious pranks during his time with various teams. From loading a teammate’s coffee with chewing tobacco to showering unsuspecting front office staff with water balloons during spring training, Francona’s pranks have become legendary in the world of baseball.
However, his latest prank has taken the internet by storm and has left fans and players in stitches. In a pre-game press conference before a game against the Tampa Bay Rays, Francona hilariously trolled Rays manager Kevin Cash with a brilliant prank.
It all started with a question about Cash’s decision to start an opening pitcher instead of a traditional starting pitcher for the game. Instead of giving a serious answer, Francona seized the opportunity to showcase his comedic talent. He grabbed his phone and pretended to call Cash, saying “Hey Cash, I’m going to have my opener go against your opener.”
The room erupted in laughter as Francona continued to poke fun at Cash and his team’s pitching strategy. He even went as far as to suggest that the Indians would use a “ghost runner” at second base instead of a designated hitter. The playful banter between the two managers was a breath of fresh air in the usually tense world of baseball.
But the prank did not end there. As the press conference went on, Francona pulled out a Rays jersey with Cash’s name and number on the back and asked if he could “borrow” it for the game. The room once again erupted in laughter as Francona jokingly stated that he wanted to join the Rays for the game.
The prank not only lightened the mood of the press conference, but it also showcased the strong bond and camaraderie between Francona and Cash. Despite being fierce competitors on the field, the two managers share a great friendship off the field, which was evident in their playful banter.
It’s not the first time Francona has shown his funny side to the public. Throughout his career, he has pulled off numerous pranks that have become the stuff of legend. From dressing up as a giant chicken to surprise his players during spring training, to pulling off a fake marriage proposal during a game, Francona has always found ways to keep the game fun and lighthearted.
But his pranks go beyond just bringing laughter to the game. They also serve as a great way to bond with his players, build team chemistry, and create a positive atmosphere in the clubhouse. Francona’s pranks not only show his incredible sense of humor, but they also demonstrate his strong leadership skills and ability to connect with his players on a personal level.
Francona’s antics have earned him the reputation of being the king of pranks in the world of baseball. And his latest stunt has once again proven that he is not just a master strategist on the field, but also a master prankster off the field.
In a world where sports can often be overshadowed by heated rivalries and intense competition, Terry Francona has found a way to bring some fun and laughter into the game. His pranks remind us that despite the high-stakes and pressure, baseball is still a game, and it’s meant to be enjoyed.
