The Montreal Expos drafted the Golden Spikes Award winner for the second straight year when they took Terry Francona at the 22nd pick of the first round. Francona was known for his exceptional athletic ability, but a series of injuries, especially to his knees, prevented Francona from ever achieving his immense potential. "Tito" is now better known as the man who managed Michael Jordan during his brief foray into professional baseball and more recently as the two-time World Champion skipper of the Boston Red Sox.
