BOSTON -- Alex Cora would prefer to be there himself, if he could.
Failing that, however, Cora is excited to see Major League Baseball visit his home island for the Puerto Rico Series that begins Tuesday between the Indians and Twins. He's excited for the buzz. He's excited for the likes of Francisco Lindor and Eddie Rosario, who will get to play in front of their friends and family. He's excited for his own family, for whom he bought tickets.
"I'm jealous," the first-year Red Sox manager said before Saturday's game at Fenway Park.
