Joey Fights His Way Back to LA

Literally.

And.

Most recently, Franchino was rumored to be one of two Revs players dressed in Yankees gear who went to a Red Sox game between the teams, got drunk and was thrown out of the stadium.

Perhaps his most impressive stats: 52 yellow cards, two red cards in 210 regular season games.

Fighter. Drinker. Enforcer.

Like a character out of The Sopranos, 31-year-old Joey is back for a second go-around (you got a problem with that?) for the Galaxy in exchange for a 2009 second round draft pick.

From the Galaxy press release:

Franchino was selected by the Galaxy in the third round of the 1998 MLS College Draft and played 49 games for the club, helping the Galaxy reach the 1999 MLS Cup. In May 2000, he was selected by the Revolution in a special draft that followed the Galaxys acquisition of forward Luis Hernandez. Franchino would go on to play in 162 games for the Revs during his eight years with the club, placing him second in New England history in all-time games played

.

To make room, defender Michael Gavin was moved to the Galaxy’s developmental roster.
