Watch: Francona kisses Kipnis' bat for good luck

There's a reason why Terry Francona is beloved by his players.

The Cleveland Indians skipper planted a little bit of love on the bat of his second baseman Jason Kipnis during Game 1 of the ALCS on Friday.

Kipnis went on to draw a five-pitch walk and later scored courtesy of a Francisco Lindor home run.
