"I had a big thrill the first game in the big leagues I played. We were opening up with Boston, I was with Baltimore, and Harry Dorish was my roommate, and Harry played with Boston the previous year. I was just a rookie and Harry said: 'If you want any tips on hitting go over and see Ted Williams before the game, go out early.' So I went out to the ballpark early that day, opening day, and I'm the only guy in our dugout, you know it was early, and here comes Ted Williams walking across from their dugout and he says: 'You Tito Francona?' and I said 'yeh' And he says: 'come along with me,' and he grabs me and we were sitting on the tarp and started talking hitting, and man I was all eyes." - Tito Francona in the Beaver County Times (Sports Editor Sam Bechtel, 07/03/1971, 'For Tito Francona, The Game Was a Gas, Page 9)
