Terry Francona's stolen Red Sox World Series rings recovered in Arizona, officials say

Terry Francona led the Boston Red Sox to two World Series championships, in 2004 and 2007, and the rings he received were recently recovered by police in Arizona after they had been stolen last month.

Francona’s two rings were reported stolen on Nov. 7, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. Police said the rings were purchased by a Phoenix memorabilia store.

Francona was also the manager when the Red Sox defeated the Colorado Rockies in 2007.
