While enjoying the satisfaction of a decisive first game victory in the World Series of Baseball, Terry Francona, coach of the Boston Red Sox had a short but stern meeting with his players after the game. The meeting was called after it was revealed that not only his infield but also his outfield players took with them to their defensive positions, items not usually identified as being related to playing the game of baseball. Among the items confiscated were 2 pocket novels, 3 toe nail clippers, 1 Fleet Enema, 1 container of eye liner ?, and 1 palm-size Xbox football game, that Ortiz claims to have gotten in his box of Frosted Flakes that very morning.
Claiming extreme boredom when playing behind Josh Beckett, the players begged Francona to let them bring something to do when playing defence while Josh was on the mound. Refusing to bow to pressure, Francona instead said that from now on, whenever Beckett was pitching, he would personally check the player’s pockets before going to the dugout. Francona then told Dustin Pedroia to leave his pet turtle in Francona’s desk until after the series was over.
