It's Time for Tito's Return

I remember the first time I returned to my old place of employment after I had accepted a new position at another company. It was awkward to say the least. Terry Francona does that tonight as he returns to Fenway Park, 2 years after resigning / getting fired as the Sox manager after the 2011 season. He returns as a two time World Series winner & he should be loudly cheered by the Fenway faithful with several standing ovations throughout the weekend. And, by the way, his new team is in first place. The Tribe is playing better than they have in years & they currently lead a much favored Detroit Tigers team in the AL Central. Not bad for a guy who returned to a Cleveland team that his dad played for & for a team that he use to roam around in the clubhouse & dugout as a kid. If you haven't read Francona's book, you need to. All that being said, I hope the Red Sox steamroll the Indians for 4 straight wins.
