Red Sox manager Alex Cora to miss game for daughter's graduation

BOSTON -- Red Sox manager Alex Cora will miss Monday's series opener against the New York Mets at Fenway Park so he can attend his daughter's college graduation.

Cora's daughter, Camila, will be graduating from nearby Boston College.

"It's going to be a very special day -- one that I'm not going to miss," Cora said before Sunday's game vs. the Atlanta Braves. "I 100% will miss the game for that. I will do that any given day. It's going to be a very special day for us."

Cora reflected how the time has seemed to go quickly and spoke about how fast his daughter seemed to grow up.
