Happy thirty-third birthday to Alex Cora. He may not be the best defensively and he may not run particularly quickly but he is a tough out. And for all his faults as a ballplayer, Cora seems like a really good guy. When Bay scored the winning run of the ALDS the team headed toward homeplate, except for Cora-who went to congratulate Lowrie. He took Pedroia under his wing last season. The baby infielders are his ducklings and it's very sweet.
Whither Cora next season? Who knows. I think one writer had him headed out to Seattle to bench coach for his brother. Assuming, of course, that Joey got the job. Regardless, happy birthday and many happy returns.
