Bobby Cox died at the age of 84, the Atlanta Braves announced Saturday. Cox led the Braves during their longest era of sustained success and was among the most accomplished managers in baseball history. www.nytimes.com/athletic/367...

Bobby Cox provided me with what I still believe to be a deep insight about baseball, which is that a big part of a manager’s job is to scream at the umps until they throw your ass out of the game

Of all the people I have been privileged to meet in baseball, Bobby Cox was one of the absolute best. We used to visit every trip here - and talk everything but baseball, one New Yorker to another (Bobby, Yankees, 1968-69, 1977) #RIP

Pretty wild that Ted Turner and Bobby Cox died within days of each other.

The Braves announced Cox's death on Saturday. He managed the team to prominence during the 1990s and the team's only championship in 1995, before retiring after the 2010 season. n.pr/3PwOE9x

RIP to Bobby Cox. Between him and Ted Turner, it’s been a sad week for a nation of fans of the dominant 90s Braves teams. I remember begging my dad to take me to a Braves-Padres game in San Diego to see Maddux pitch when we visiting for a family vacation. An experience that left this insane memory.

Ted Turner fired Bobby Cox and immediately afterwards was like "We need someone like Bobby Cox around here." Well, he got his wish. What a week

Bobby Cox and Ted Turner in the same week is *insane* God beefed out w/ Atlanta rn???

The last time I saw Bobby Cox was at a QuikTrip. I had gone inside to tell employee the pump's credit card reader wasn't working and all of a sudden I hear, "Jeff!" I turned and there he was. Tanned. Smiling. A picture of perfect retirement. He had a stroke a few weeks later. Miss him every day. RIP
