It's a Cubs Town »
October 3, 2005
Red Sox infielder Alex Cora and White Sox third base coach Joey Cora, who used to play second base for Chicago, are brothers.
They went out to dinner Sunday night after Boston arrived in Chicago. But don't expect to see much fraternization on the field during the American League Division Series.
``He's my brother. It's a cliche, but we're enemies on the field,'' said Alex Monday afternoon prior to Boston's workout at U.S. Cellular Field. ``But it's different. I know my role, but at least I can control a little what happens on the field. All he can do is keep sending runners -- and I hope we throw all of them out at the plate.''
The fact the Coras will be in opposing dugouts for the series is more of a concern for one fan in particular. And she'll be rooting for the Red Sox, said Alex.
``There's more pressure on my Mom (Iris),'' said Alex with a smile. ``But she made it clear I'm the one playing. (Joey) had his chance as a player.''
Alex said Iris would be flying from Puerto Rico to Boston to see Game 3 Friday afternoon.
