The World Series trophy has made its way throughout New England over the last week since the Red Sox took home the title, but it may not get better for Alex Cora than it did on Saturday in his hometown.
>>PREVIOUS: Red Sox manager Alex Cora to bring World Series trophy to Puerto Rico
The team showcased the trophy at a parade Wednesday and at the Celtics game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, and followed that up with news that Cora and members of the team would head to Puerto Rico on Saturday.
Of course, the team made their way to Cora's hometown of Caguas with some special hardware, safely making its way onto the plane after a busy week.
