Atlanta Braves legend Cox dies: team
Former Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, a four-time National League Manager of the Year who guided the team to a World Series victory in 1995, has died, the club announced on Saturday. He was 84.
In a statement, the Braves saluted f Cox as their "treasure skipper", describing him as "the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform."
"We are overcome with emotion on the passing of Bobby Cox," the Braves said.
"He led our team to 14 straight division titles, five National League pennants, and the unforgettable World Series title in 1995.
"His Braves managerial legacy will never be matched."
After two seasons with the New York Yankees as a player, Cox won a World Series as part of the Bronx Bombers' coaching staff in 1977 before his first unsuccessful stint with the Braves as manager between 1978 and 1981.
He returned to the club as skipper in 1990, where he remained until 2010, his final game in charge a playoff defeat to the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series.
"Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him," the Braves said on Saturday.
"His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport's ultimate prize in 2014 - enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame."
