Boston Red Sox first-year manager Alex Cora must have paid close attention to Houston skipper A.J. Hinch while he was the bench coach for the Astros. For the past couple of seasons, the Astros led the major leagues in victories away from home.

Written 10 Years Ago, Nov. 4, 2008 In my childhood, segregation was in full bloom. Negroes had their own schools that were mostly low standard, poorly built wooden buildings. We whites had our own water fountains and restrooms. The facilities were distinctly marked “Colored” or “Whites Only.” Segregation went far deeper than that.
