CLEVELAND, Ohio – A motor scooter belonging to Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona was stolen from outside of his downtown apartment building late last week, Cleveland police say.
The scooter was stolen between 9:30 p.m. on Friday and 8 a.m. on Saturday, according to police spokesperson Sgt. Jennifer Ciaccia.
Ciaccia said that Francona noticed it missing Saturday morning and still has the key. Police are continuing to investigate.
A Guardians spokesperson confirmed the theft occurred at Francona’s East 4th Street apartment. He said the club is working with police but declined to comment further.
Francona is known to ride his scooter the short distance between Progressive Field and his apartment after Guardians’ home games. He affectionately calls it “the hog.”
