Terry Francona, current Cleveland Indians manager and Most Outstanding Player from the Arizona Wildcats 1980 College World Series title team, donated $1 million today to the Arizona baseball program to be used for baseball capital projects. Among the projects will be the new Terry Francona Hitting Facility that will be indoors and allow the Wildcats to practice year round.
"Since I moved back to Tucson four years ago, it has been a priority of mine to give back to the University of Arizona," said Francona in a release from Arizona Athletics.
Francona attributed his career and life to the development he made at UA as a student.
