Did Alex Cora put Tanner Houck's picture on his Instagram story
Going through Alex Cora's Instagram, it was found that he put Tanner Houck's recent viral
'bullpen phone'
image on his story.
The significance behind the image is the incident that went on in the Mets vs Red Sox game. After getting ejected from the field for arguing with umpire Mike Estabrook, the Red Sox manager was seen going into the dugout and breaking the bullpen phone with his fist. The broken bullpen phone cover was then held onto by several players and finally made its way to Tanner Houck, who used it to honor Alex Cora after DH Rafael Devers made the winning home run.

Will the broken bullpen phone be the Red Sox's new victory thing
As per Brennan Bernardino, the Red Sox's pitcher, the broken bullpen phone cover has already made its way to the clubhouse as the new victory symbol.
"It made it into the clubhouse after the game. It might be a new celebratory thing."
When asked about his ejection from the game and reaction towards the umpire over the wrong call, Alex Cora replied,
'It looked like it was very aggressive, but he's the umpire. We have to respect that, and he threw him out.'
Cora had to miss the previous game to attend his daughter's graduation. He reunited with the Red Sox on Tuesday, when the team was facing the New York Mets, and helped them attain victory. Though Cora was out from the game in the 3rd inning, when the Red Sox were pitching, he did leave an impact on the field.

Pant's roof-breaking stunner to Gill-Bumrah face off: What transpired in India's nets session ahead of 1st England Test?
Beckenham [UK], June 10 (ANI): Roof-breaking hits, a star-studded face-off and plenty of warming up and pep talks summarised India's practice session on Monday ahead of their first Test against England, starting from June 20 with the first Test at Leeds. The Test series would very well be an era-defining one in Indian cricket history, as after the retirement of two legends, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, a new-look Team India would be eyeing a fresh start in ICC World Test Championship (WTC) cycle of 2025-27 under captaincy of newly-appointed red-ball captain Shubman Gill. A video of players was posted on Instagram handle of the Indian cricket team with several players including skipper Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja seen in action. The coaching staff, including head coach Gautam Gambhir, were also seen talking to players, guiding them as they sweat it out in nets. Gill and Pant were among the players who did some batting practice, while Siraj and Bumrah were seen throwing down balls. The team also took part in some fielding drills led by fielding coach T Dilip. As per a video from ESPNCricinfo on Instagram, a massive part of this practice session was a one-on-one battle between Bumrah and skipper Gill. Bumrah looked at his unplayable best against Gill, who had no choice to either struggle or to just leave the ball altogether. Another attractive sight during the session was Pant tonking a massive six on a Washington Sundar delivery, which broke a part of the roof of the facility at Beckenham, as per an ESPNCricinfo video on Instagram. The series will be held from June to August 2025, with matches scheduled at Headingley in Leeds, Edgbaston in Birmingham, Lord's and The Oval in London, and Old Trafford in Manchester. India's Test squad for England series: Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (vc), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Karun Nair, Nitish Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav.

Ed Sheeran on his friendship with 'most talented' Arijit Singh: I'm so grateful he shared his talent with me
Ed Sheeran has shared a heartfelt story of his recent musical collaboration with Arijit Singh, calling him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met. In a detailed Instagram post, the British singer spoke of how he first discovered Arijit's music through 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2', and was immediately spellbound. Sheeran said he reached out to Arijit years ago and expressed his desire to collaborate. He wrote, 'i first became aware of @arijitsingh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie." He continued, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together i'm down. he was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies.' Sheeran revealed that he and Arijit exchanged ideas over email before meeting in person in India while Sheeran was on tour with his father. 'We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my home town so I can show you my home and culture," he wrote. Ed continued, "I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one on one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town. We arrived, went on a barge down the river which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song,' wrote the 'Galway Girl' hitmaker. The experience was personal for Sheeran, who called it a 'core memory' he'll always cherish with his father. He added, 'Arijit taught me Punjabi and how to pronounce it all properly, and showed me Sitar. We then had dinner, and scooted around the village to see the sunset and moon with my dad. was a proper core memory i'll always cherish with my father, and i'm honoured to have created in this way with Arijit.' 'He's one of the most talented humans ive ever met, and i'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song. The full Punjabi version we recorded will be out in a couple of weeks, but until then I'll be drip-feeding fun videos from our time together. enjoy,' Sheeran added, closing his message with deep admiration for Arijit. Listen to 'Sapphire' here: The Punjabi version of their song will be released in the coming weeks. Until then, Sheeran plans to share videos from their time together.
