Happy Birthday, Bobby Cox! You will always be an Atlanta legend. No matter who was on the Atlanta roster, Cox found a way to win and win with class. Very few men have gotten more out of his players than Bobby did. With all the great things Bobby Cox has done for the Atlanta Braves, we will always remember the fourteen straight division titles and the animated ejections. His all-time ejections record will never be broken just like no one is ever going to win 500+ games as a starting pitcher and surpass Cy Young. Sometimes I wonder if Bobby thinks about how many of his ejections were because Major League Baseball didn’t have expanded instant replay during his managerial career. Many guys had their career years in Atlanta because they played so hard for a man they respected so much.Įven five seasons since his retirement and nearly a year since his 2014 Baseball Hall of Fame induction, part of me still believes that #6 is still in the dugout out at Turner Field waiting for the CB Bucknor to make a bad call and get himself ejected. Show up on time, wear the uniform correctly, and play the game the right way. Whether you were a perennial All-Star or a guy up for a cup of coffee from AAA Richmond/Gwinnett, Bobby expected just three things from his ball players. Through solid starting pitching, timely hitting, great defense, and a healthy farm system, Cox led the Team of the 90’s to five World Series appearances in nine seasons, winning it all in 1995 over the Cleveland Indians.īobby was the ultimate player’s manager. With Schuerholz, Cox took the worst team in the NL West in 1990 to a World Series berth in 1991.
