Unbelievable. Francona is a great wildcat, not because of this gift but just the fact he is always all in on the Cats. Love to see him at the basketball games. I would imagine he speaks to JJ and the players and that is a big plus for us.
I understand they are going to upgrade the hitting facility, is that correct? Have to think it will be state of the art

Yeah it's in the article I linked. Terry's gift is for a brand new indoor hitting facility located where the current batting cages are at. They're still making improvements from the prior $1 million gift after the season ended, which are an installation of a new backstop, the replacement of seating in certain sections behind home plate, and a renovation to the home clubhouse, which is expected to commence following the 2017 season.

Tito is taking the rest of the season off to focus on his health.
Hope he’s ok.

I read that he is having hip surgery. I hope that's the only health challenge he's facing
