Filed under: BravesATLANTA -- Sorry, but I don't believe this is it for Bobby Cox. I've never believed it. I've been around the guy for much of his three decades managing in the major leagues that has included 25 years with the Atlanta Braves, and I know so many things to be true.
For instance: Baseball is Cox's oxygen.
Billy Martin. Sparky Anderson. Joe Torre. I've covered several managers of note through the years, but I've never seen anybody enjoy everything about managing more than this baseball lifer who isn't averse to arriving six, seven, eight hours before the first pitch. He spends that whole stretch in uniform just -- well, just because.
Not only that, there never has been anybody better than Cox at the combination of Xs and Os and inspiring players.
He's the all-time perfect manager.
