Facing a 2 -- 1 count, Cora fouled off 14 straight pitches before finally hitting a home run. It is the third longest documented at - bat since baseball statisticians began keeping track of pitch counts in the mid-1980s. So much time elapsed that Cora 's brother Joey joked that he and a friend were watching the game at a restaurant, ordering their first beer during the first pitch, and by the time Cora homered they were `` so drunk that we had to call a cab to take us home. '' Cora played in the two longest nine - inning games in MLB history. The first was a 4 - hour, 27 - minute game on October 5, 2001, between the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants. The second game, and the longest on record, was a 4 - hour, 45 - minute game on August 18, 2006, the second game of a doubleheader between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Cora entered the 2001 game as a defensive replacement in the eighth inning, and was the starting shortstop in the 2006 game.

Hinch. On August 25, 2017, Cora was ejected from a game against the Los Angeles Angels by home plate umpire Laz Díaz. Cora argued that the baseball had too much dirt on it and should be removed from play ; this was Cora 's first career MLB ejection. Managing Boston Red Sox During the 2017 ALCS, Cora interviewed for the open managerial position of the Boston Red Sox. It was subsequently reported that Cora would be named as Red Sox manager. On October 22, the day after the Astros defeated the New York Yankees in the ALCS, the Red Sox announced a three - year managerial contract for Cora, for the 2018 through 2020 seasons, with an option for 2021.
