Hundreds of arms stretched into the sky Saturday in the hometown of Boston Red Sox Manager Alex Cora as fans took pictures and video of the first man from Puerto Rico to lead a team to a World Series championship.

Cora held up the trophy that he had been cradling in his arms as he arrived in the city of Caguas with pitchers David Price and Eduardo Rodriguez, and catcher Christian Vazquez, among others, including the Red Sox chairman, Tom Werner.

The Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers on Oct. 28 to win their fourth championship in 15 years.

• Texas hired Los Angeles Dodgers third-base coach Chris Woodward as manager, six weeks after Jeff Banister was fired.

• Atlanta decided not to renew the contract of Ryan Flaherty, the former Deering High standout.
