Alex Cora and the Red Sox have an inferiority complex, and that’s just fine

Growing up and competing with an older brother can be tough. As the younger brother, you know that in most cases, you’re going to lose. When you play one-on-one in the driveway, he’s going to grab every rebound and run up the score. When you play a video game, his more developed hand-eye coordination is going to best yours every time. And when you finally get sick of it and stand up for yourself, he’s just going to pin you to the ground until you tap out.

Those tides can turn in an instant. One day, when the winds of change are on your side, you can finally beat him in something and then spend the rest of your life bringing it up.
