1. Red Sox manager Alex Cora has won over a lot of baseball fans around the country.
Over the weekend, with the Yankees and Red Sox slated for an ESPN Sunday Night Baseball game for the second week in a row, Cora went public with a gripe held by many MLB fans.
Via The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey, Cora said, “I think it’s too much sometimes. Back-to-back Sunday night games, with all due respect to ESPN, come on. There’s other teams out there and people want to watch them.”
While calling out ESPN for scheduling the Yankees and Red Sox on back-to-back Sunday nights will make Cora a hero to the millions of fans who despite those two teams, there is just one problem.
