BOSTON (AP) – Red Sox manager Alex Cora will miss Monday\u00b4s series opener against the New York Mets at Fenway Park so he can attend his daughter\u00b4s college graduation.<\/p>\n

Cora\u00b4s daughter, Camila, will be graduating from nearby Boston College.<\/p>\n

“It\u00b4s going to be a very special day – one that I\u00b4m not going to miss,” Cora said before Boston faced the Atlanta Braves in the series finale on Sunday. “I 100% will miss the game for that. I will do that any given day. It\u00b4s going to be a very special day for us.”<\/p>\n

Cora reflected how the time has seemed to go quickly and spoke about how fast his daughter seemed to grow up.<\/p>\n

“It went fast, it went really fast,” Cora said of her time in college. “For a girl from divorced parents, her mom did an amazing job, staying the course while I was playing and coaching and doing my ESPN thing. … She\u00b4s actually a reflection of her. I appreciate everything she\u00b4s done for her and for us.”<\/p>\n

Asked if he\u00b4ll be able to hold back his emotions at the ceremony, Cora smiled and said: “We\u00b4ll see” before bringing up memories of when his daughter was at the 2018 World Series victory celebration and a postseason series wrap-up win over Tampa Bay in \u00b421 at Fenway.<\/p>\n

“It\u00b4s going to be an amazing day. It happened fast,” he said. “You put everything into perspective, you go back to the videos of \u00b418, she was a little girl.<\/p>\n

“Then you go back to \u00b421 when she hopped onto the field when we beat Tampa, she was still a little girl. Now, she\u00b4s not a little girl,” he said. “She\u00b4s a woman. She had fun with it. She\u00b4s a great student and the future\u00b4s bright for her.”<\/p>\n
