'Yankee Bob' Watson Personally Checks Out Francona's Uniform
Then Has His Henchman Shake Down Tito with Jeter on Base

"Terry Francona was peeved this morning that a (major league baseball) security person made him show that he was wearing his uniform top in the second inning of Wednesday night's game with Derek Jeter at second base. ...

'The timing to me was incredible,' Francona said. 'He made me show him. I thought Jeter was going to steal third.' Francona said that the exchange caused him to miss one pitch."

Francona said he had no complaints with Watson, who he described as "very nice about it" but remained furious over the timing and the interruption of his managing during the game. -- 8.30.07, Nick Cafardo, Extra Bases
