News item: Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora insisted after Wednesday night’s extra-inning victory over the Orioles that the decision by about half his team to skip Thursday’s White House world championship celebration was not an indication that the clubhouse is fractured along political or racial lines.
My take: Not sure star pitcher David Price would agree, since he was the one who retweeted and endorsed a Twitter comment by a Boston columnist that suggested the guys showing up to visit Donald Trump were mostly the “white” Sox.
