Alex Cora Has Simple Message For Puerto Rico After Red Sox’s Win Vs. Yankees
It’s been quite a year for Alex Cora. The first-year manager has led the Boston Red Sox to Major League Baseball’s best record at 104-49, is just one win away from tying the 1912 franchise record for most wins in a regular season and watched his team clinch the American League East division Thursday night when the Sox defeated the New York Yankees 11-6 at Yankee Stadium. But aside from what’s been happening on the field, Cora has been dealing with a lot off the field as well. Most notably, Hurricane Maria, which made landfall in Cora’s native Puerto Rico a year ago Thursday, causing devastating damage. After Boston clinched, Cora wa... NESN.com

The legendary pitcher was unapologetically candid throughout Hall of Fame career, and not much has changed in the years since he hung up his cleats.

Red Sox Vs. Yankees Preview: How Pitching Rotations Line Up For Critical Series
The Boston Red Sox will welcome the New York Yankees to Fenway Park on Thursday for the beginning of a four-game set that could have huge implications for the American League East race. After Yankees right-hander Sonny Gray was pummeled by the Baltimore Orioles and subsequently booed off the mound at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday, New York will enter the series 5 1/2 games back of Major League Baseball’s best team.
