Baseball Quote by Alex Cora
“People think that that's an easy job, it's just get behind that desk and put that tie on and just talk baseball. It doesn't work that way, man. The way I see it, that prepares us for this. It's kind of like scouting reports. You got to know players. Actually, you know more about teams when you're working on TV than actually as a coach.”
