Bobby Cox is remembered as one of baseball’s most successful managers, especially for the remarkable run he built with the Atlanta Braves. After managing Atlanta from 1978–81, he returned to the club in 1990 and guided the Braves through their dominant 1990s and 2000s era.
Cox led Atlanta to 14 consecutive division titles from 1991 through 2005, five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. He also managed the Toronto Blue Jays from 1982–85, winning the AL East in 1985 and earning his first Manager of the Year Award.
Cox finished his 29-year managerial career with 2,504 wins and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
