Cora: Text from Belichick, ‘like the highlight of the year’
BOSTON – The sure sign for Red Sox manager Alex Cora that things are getting serious in the baseball playoffs: He got a text from Patriots coach Bill Belichick wishing him luck.
“That's like the highlight of the year,” Cora gushed before Game 3 of the AL Division Series against Tampa Bay on Sunday. “I got the text from this random area code. That's cool, to be honest with you, for somebody of his status to wish us luck.”
Cora said Belichick reached out before Tuesday's wild-card victory over the New York Yankees, and texted again after.
