Terry Francona, former manager of the Boston Red Sox, shared his reflections on his eight years with the team that included two World Series titles. Returning to Fenway as a manager for the Cincinnati Reds, he noted that time has allowed him to recall the positive experiences more vividly. Francona has navigated significant health challenges, undergoing over 40 surgeries. After taking a year off to recover, he has regained enthusiasm for the game. Current Red Sox manager Alex Cora expressed surprise at Francona's return as an opposing manager, underscoring his commitment despite health concerns.
As time passes and now [returning] here with multiple teams, it's way easier to remember all the good and maybe kind of [brush aside] the stuff that wasn't so good, or forget about it.
I had eight really, really good years here. Doesn't mean they were easy, but I mean, we had some really good players, some really good teams, and I know I was fortunate.
