Red Sox manager Alex Cora to miss Monday’s game vs. Mets to attend daughter’s college graduation

The Boston Red Sox will be without manager Alex Cora on Monday, though he’s got a pretty good reason for his absence.

Instead of being with the Red Sox for their series opener against the New York Mets at Fenway Park, Cora will attend his daughter Camila's college graduation ceremony at Boston College. And, rightfully so, Cora has absolutely no regrets about his decision.

“It’s going to be a very special day, one that I’m not going to miss,” Cora said before the team’s 10-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, via The Associated Press.
