Terry Francona has fond memories of Michael Jordan

Posted Jan 29, 2014
Speaking this week at the Hall of Fame Luncheon Club in Canton before departing for Arizona, Terry Francona spoke fondly of Michael Jordan's highly-publicized but mostly unsuccessful try at baseball before heading back to the Chicago Bulls and NBA greatness. "He wasn't very good," Francona said. "But I found out in a hurry that if you told him 'no,' he wanted the answer to be 'yes.'" (FOX Sports)
