Boston Red Sox Photos: Manager Alex Cora Returns To Puerto Rico With Trophy.

At the beginning of this season when manager Alex Cora was hired, he requested one thing: a plane full of supplies to be sent down by the Red Sox to his hometown of Caguas in Puerto Rico in wake of Marias. The Red Sox came through on that request, and ten months and one World Series championship later, they returned to Caguas with the World Series trophy in tow. 

Here is a photo essay from a down-and-back day trip to Puerto Rico earlier this week with Alex Cora, several other players and coaches, and members of the Red Sox front office. This was a whirlwind day, but an experience I won’t forget. The Red Sox were welcomed with a huge parade through the streets and a celebration of baseball and Puerto Rican culture.
