Remember when Alex Cora refused to visit the White House? Now he's unemployed.

I wonder if Trump got him fired.

As a Red Sox fan from the Dorchester-neighborhood of Boston who once had the honor of working in the White House, I was truly disappointed in 2018 when the manager and a number of players from the World-Series winning Boston Red Sox chose not to make the traditional visit to the White House.

While their protest was built on a foundation of ignorance, it got them the attention they sought from the Trump-hating media.

As it turned out, one of the ringleaders of the symbolic protest was Red Sox manager Alex Cora.

Cora is now at the epicenter of one of the largest and most disgraceful cheating scandals in Major League Baseball history. It’s a sign-stealing cheating scandal that began when Cora was with the Houston Astros. The general manager and manager of the Astros were already suspended from the league for the year and then subsequently fired by the Astros owner.

All because an MLB investigation determined that the Astros cheated by using a camera-based sign-stealing system during the regular season and World Series-winning 2017 season.

The scandal taints the season, the players, and especially their World Series victory.

As it turns out, Alex Cora was not only the bench coach for the Houston Astros at that time. He was allegedly instrumental in arranging “for a video room technician to install a monitor displaying the center-field camera feed immediately outside of the Astros dugout.” Select players and coaches then watched the monitors to steal signs from opposing catchers.

Next, and not surprisingly, elements of that same sign-stealing system made their way to the Boston Red Sox after Alex Cora became the team’s manager for the 2018 season. The season saw the Red Sox win the very next World Series. Now, Cora has been fired.

Most deservedly so, if the cheating accusations are accurate.

Alex Cora used the tragedy of Hurricane Maria hitting his homeland of Puerto Rico as a pretense for not meeting with Trump after the World Series victory by the Red Sox. He maintained that he was upset that the president dared to dispute some of the death-toll numbers being put out by certain Puerto Rican officials. Cora said, in part, “I hate that people are making it a political issue … I have continually used my voice so that Puerto Ricans are not forgotten and my absence is no different. Therefore, at this moment, I do not feel comfortable celebrating in the White House.”

 

Cora is just another corrupt Democrat voting idiot, throwing stones in their little glass houses
