I don't know what it is between the two of them, or how it got to be that way, but I really enjoy the dynamic between Francona and Pedroia. Francona is like your fun, bachelor uncle-the one who never grew up, even though your mom and your aunts desperately wish that he would,he plays guitar, rides a motorcycle, he's just the epitome of cool-when he's around Pedroia.
In the Herald today they had a little bit about Pedroia taking over Francona's role in the Sullivan Tire Commercials.
"The Sullivan Tire commercial shoot offered one of the first opportunities for Pedroia and Francona to execute a series of good-natured jabs, a staple last year.
First came Pedroia’s explanation regarding why he will serve as the company’s spokesman: “He probably did the worst commercial of all time, so they are finally going to get somebody who can do something decent, or actually above average.”
Francona responded: “They were replacing a 49-year-old, so they were looking for somebody who closely resembled me, and he fit the bill."
Ha!
As for worst Red Sox commercial ever, I would have to nominate Jonathan Papelbon's 125 Auto Commercial. It is truly beyond words.
