Alex Cora, the Red Sox’s manager, had quite the memorable All-Star break as he attended the Coldplay concert in Boston on Wednesday. Little did he know that he would witness more than just a musical performance that night.
During a media briefing ahead of his team’s series opener against the Chicago Cubs, Cora was asked about how he spent his time off. With a wry smile, he replied, “It was good. I was actually at the Wednesday Coldplay concert.”
The 49-year-old couldn’t contain his laughter as he recounted seeing Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and Astronomer head of HR, Kristin Cabot, getting cozy on the Gillette Stadium jumbotron. The sight was undoubtedly amusing for everyone except for the couple themselves.
The incident at the Coldplay concert became a viral sensation, with photos and videos of Byron and Cabot’s intimate moment spreading like wildfire on social media. Despite the unexpected turn of events, Cora seemed to have enjoyed his time at the concert, describing it as “fun.”
As the Red Sox gear up for their upcoming games, Cora can look back on his eventful break with a mix of amusement and disbelief at being a witness to a real-life romantic drama unfolding before his eyes. It just goes to show that you never know what surprises life has in store, even at a seemingly ordinary concert.
