CLEVELAND (AP) Terry Francona made it to the home finale, his last managing the Guardians before retirement.

His beloved scooter didnt get there.

Just hours before Cleveland sent off the popular manager, who is leaving baseball after 11 seasons with the club, with a 4-3 win over Cincinnati, Francona revealed that the celebrated motorized scooter he rode to and from Progressive Field for the past several seasons was stolen for the second time.

The hog has been officially put on ice, Francona said, using the pet nickname for his ride before Wednesday nights game. It got stolen again, but this time they stripped it.

Francona said the two-wheeled vehicle was swiped about 10 days ago. It was first stolen in January but recovered by Cleveland Police.

Been in mourning, he said. They got it in the clubhouse under a blanket. Looks like they took a baseball bat to it.
