Terry Francona has been in Ron Gardenhire’s seat.
Long before Francona established himself as a future Hall of Fame manager, he was called on to lead a rebuilding team in 1997, just a year after he served as the third base coach for the Detroit Tigers, his first big league coaching gig.
At age 38, Francona was hired as manager of the Phillies.
