Alex Cora could not have asked for a better 43rd birthday.
Cora kicked off his special day with a bang, as the Boston Red Sox earned a thrilling win in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series over the Houston Astros. Later Thursday, the first-year skipper and his club punched their ticket to the World Series with a 4-1 Game 5 victory at Minute Maid Park.
But before the Red Sox started popping champagne bottles, they made sure to celebrate their manager with a special rendition of “Happy Birthday.”
Well done, fellas.
An American League pennant certainly is a great birthday gift, but we have a feeling Cora has his eyes set on a championship ring.
