Bobby Cox

Description: (Baseball Player, Manager)

Bobby Cox is an American former 'Major League Baseball' (MLB) team manager and professional baseball player. He began his career playing as the third baseman for the 'Los Angeles Dodgers' and then played for the 'Atlanta Braves.' He finally joined the 'New York Yankees.' He also played for two clubs of the 'Venezuelan Winter League.' When a knee injury ended his career as a player, Cox began his stint as a manager with the 'New York Yankees,' a ‘Minor League’ team. His 'Major League' career began with the 'Atlanta Braves' (1978 to 1981), and in that capacity, he did a remarkable job in bringing back the lost glory of the team. An unfortunate incident resulted in his dismissal, and after a stint with the 'Toronto Blue Jays' (1982 to 1985), he rejoined the 'Braves' in 1986, as their general manager. He remained with the team until his retirement after the 2010 season. An able strategist, Cox is the only coach to win the 'Manager of the Year' honor in both the ‘American League’ and the ‘National League.’
