Terry Francona Lost

Francona said he has always preferred to stay as close as possible to where he works.

"I like being close to the ballpark, always have," he said. "If I had my druthers on the road, I would rather stay in a motel next to the ballpark than have to drive a half-hour."

Francona was looking forward to catching a ceremonial first pitch from his father, Tito, who played outfield for the Indians from 1959-64. The Franconas were to take part in special pregame festivities involving several Indians players and their fathers.

"That will be really cool for me," Francona said.

As a kid, Francona often visited Cleveland's old ballpark with his dad and that's where he got his nickname, "Tito."

"Guys would say, 'Hey, little Tito,'" Francona said. "It just kind of stuck."

Terry Francona lives two blocks from the Indians’ ballpark, but somehow got lost walking there today for the home opener.     Francona, who is living in downtown Cleveland during the season, was thankful there were people on the streets Monday morning “because I got lost three times.” Francona joked that he doesn’t have a good sense of direction and was glad someone finally picked him up in a golf cart and got him to the ballpark.

As someone who basically has no idea how to get anywhere and relies on a GPS to an unhealthy degree I can sympathize. And really, letting random people in Cleveland drive you around in a golf cart sounds like a feature rather than a bug.
