Why Reds' Tyler Stephenson gifted Terry Francona a ... Speedo?

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson wore a Speedo with Reds manager Terry Francona 's face on it. And then gave it to Francona as a gift. Reds TV broadcaster Jim Day revealed the hilarious prank during a broadcast of the Reds vs.

Pirates game Tuesday. Francona likes to swim every morning, Day said, so Stephenson ordered a custom-made Speedo decorated with Francona from his days as a Reds player. The skimpy swimwear features several dozen copies of Francona's late-20s face all over it.

As for the reveal? Stephenson wore the Speedo underneath a towel and approached his manager in the coach's room. "(He) said, 'Hey, Tito, I heard you're big into swimming.

How would you like to give me some lessons? " Day reported. Stephenson then dropped the towel to show off the gag gift.
