Cora left the park wearing a gray sweatshirt with a hood over his head, walking down the street briefly unnoticed before he was followed and surrounded by about a dozen fans. He stopped a couple of times to sign autographs.

He was asked, “How does it feel to be a world champion?”

The city of Boston has planned a parade of duck boats for Wednesday.
