The night the Sox won the World Series in 04, Terry Franconia, his wife and grown children, celebrated by playing a board game as a family - which they did whenever they could.
Seven years later, Franconia is drinking on the road, cheating on his wife, his marriage is in the toilet, he is asleep at the wheel with respect to policing his players, and I'm not going to speculate about the drug use. That's either the mother of mid life crises or the effect of too much stress.
The organization, the expectations, the fans who are rabidly into it...it's a lot to deal with. Pap probably wanted the hell out of there.
