Pirates third-base coach Joey rooting on younger Alex, set for first Opening Day as Red Sox manager
ST. PETERSBURG -- The day is finally coming on Thursday when Alex Cora realizes his dream of managing for the Red Sox on Opening Day. The setting will be under the roof at Tropicana Field.
Nearly all of the most important people in Cora's life will be there, including his baby twins, his teenage daughter, his two sisters and various other close friends and family members from Puerto Rico. His mother hates flying, so she will wait until the home opener at Fenway on April 5.
