José Manuel Cora Amaro (born May 14, 1965) is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball player with an 11-year career in MLB spanning the years 1987 and 1989–1998 and current third base coach for the Detroit Tigers.

He played for the San Diego Padres of the National League and the Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Indians of the American League.

He primarily played as a second baseman.

Cora attended Vanderbilt University and played college baseball for the Commodores.

In 1984, he played collegiate summer baseball for the Chatham A's of the Cape Cod Baseball League (CCBL).

He hit .373 with 28 stolen bases, and was named the league's most valuable player.

The San Diego Padres selected Cora in the first round (23rd overall) of the 1985 MLB draft.

1986

As a member of the Beaumont Golden Gators, Cora was stabbed after a game in San Antonio, Texas, on June 22, 1986.

Cora was waiting outside the team bus following the game against the San Antonio Missions at V.J. Keefe Stadium when two men called his name and then assaulted him.

He was stabbed once in the stomach and once in the arm.

Cora was quickly rushed to the hospital and later made a full recovery after spending six weeks on the disabled list.

A man named Jose Puente, 29, was caught at the scene and was later charged with attempted murder.

Cora had exchanged words with fans outside of the visitor's dressing room, resulting in the fans returning with more men later on.

1987

Cora debuted in the major leagues on April 6, 1987 as a 21-year-old rookie.

In his first career game, he started at second base and finished the game 2-for-5 in a 4–3 loss to the San Francisco Giants.

1991

After spending parts of three seasons with the Padres, Cora was traded to the Chicago White Sox along with Kevin Garner and Warren Newson in exchange for pitchers Adam Peterson and Steve Rosenberg on March 31, 1991.

1995

On April 6, 1995, Cora signed with the Seattle Mariners.

In the bottom of 11th inning of the deciding Game 5 of the 1995 American League Division Series, Cora bunted and dove into first base, narrowly avoiding the tag, kicking off the game-winning rally in which he scored on Edgar Martínez's walk-off double.

1997

His 24-game hitting streak was a Mariners record (later broken by Ichiro Suzuki) and was an AL record for switch hitters (until broken by Kansas City's Jose Offerman in 1997).

In 1997, he was elected to the AL All-Star team and went on to hit .300 with 11 home runs and 54 RBI in 149 games.

1998

Cora spent most of the 1998 season as a Mariner, but with the team falling out of contention, he was dealt to the Cleveland Indians in exchange for David Bell on August 31.

He finished the season batting a combined .276 with six home runs and 32 RBI in 155 games.
