Video: Terry Francona’s Gotch Yer Jokes Right Here
September 17, 2011
Even with his team leading the AL Wild Card race by a mere three games — and winning by only a single run in the fifth inning — Terry Francona isn’t the sort of person to pass up an opportunity to make solid-gold comedy, here capitalizing on the double-meaning of the word climate during Boston’s 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday night.
Not captured as part of this footage is Francona saying, just seconds later, “Your move, Carrot Top.”
Carson Cistulli has published a book of aphorisms called Spirited Ejaculations of a New Enthusiast.
That’s not even a particularly good Francona joke. Pretty much 100% of the time he’s asked about a problem in the organization or any kind controversy, his answer is a punny joke.
