No Francona's. There is a clause in his contract that says if
Francona's daughter is taken to "the" hospital (as if there were only
one hospital in the world) that says Ortiz must then be PH for at the
next plate appearance. It is right next to the clause that says
Francona must give a clubhouse tour to any albino dwarf who buys a
ticket to a Tuesday game. Lucky he didn't have to do both.
