GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- The Indians have their first major injury of the spring -- manager Terry Francona's red scooter is on the disabled list. Francona said Thursday that the scooter he rides around during training camp and to and from Progressive Field in downtown Cleveland during the regular season was wrecked recently by a team employee during a promotional video shoot. Francona was pleased to report that the unnamed rider is doing fine, but his two-wheeled vehicle is going to require some maintenance. "It's in the shop," he said, "as is the kid." Francona didn't reveal the exact nature of the scooter's problems, but indicated it could be some time before the motorized bike is back on the streets. Now in his third season with Cleveland, Francona, who won two World Series titles with the Boston Red Sox, joked that the accident has created some tension. "It's probably the first time in my experience with the Indians that there's been a little bit of a rift," Francona cracked.
