The Boston Red Sox crumbled in September as rumors ran rampant that manager Terry Francona had
let the lockerroom become too wild. Beer drinking and fried chicken eating reportedly took place in
the lockerroom. That led to Terry Francona's firing.
With discipline in mind, the Red Sox hired Bobby Valentine.
The Boston Red Sox have officially hired Bobby Valentine to become the team's new manager. The
energetic, always-talking and never-dull Bobby V will undoubtedly breathe life back into a
franchise that lost its direction last season.
Valentine's last managing job was with the New York Mets. Since then, he's been busy becoming a
legend in the Japanese leagues, where he led a lowly team to a championship.
