Ouch.
An amazing rise and fall story...
Many Red Sox players and staff (and their wives) DID attend the White House celebration with President Trump, including the leftist Red Sox team owners (John Henry, et al). I was surprised how cordial they were interacting with Trump.
Our buddy Brock Holt was front and center, and was joking around with the President! He had a great time at the WH. :-)
Cora - the damn *manager* of the team - and a BIG segment of players stayed home and pouted. REALLY ticked me off. I found it highly embarrassing as a Red Sox fan. We cheer on these guys for years, then they pull a stunt like this.
I won't miss Cora's post-game pressers, either. He'd sit there all slouched over, acting highly annoyed he had to be there. He'd mumble his comments as if he was some surly teenager. I'm really surprised Cora turned out to be like this. We loved him years ago when he was a utility player for the Red Sox.
