Former Red Sox manager -- and current Indians skipper -- Terry Francona will accompany current Red Sox manager and Francona's former pitching coach John Farrell for Farrell's first chemotherapy session on Tuesday as he battles Stage 1 lymphoma.
Tom Caron, the host of the team's pregame and postgame shows on NESN, first reported the news, which comes by the coincidence that the Indians happen to be in Boston for a three-game series as Farrell begins his treatment.
"I have no doubt that he will beat the [heck] out of this, probably with one hand tied behind his back," Francona said last week.
