Bobby Cox
He is one of the winningest managers in the history of MLB; His 1996 Atlanta Braves team won the World Series
Cox's first stint as the Braves' manager was from 1978 to 1981, after which he took over the Toronto Blue Jays from 1982 to 1985. He returned to the Braves in 1986, initially as a general manager, before resuming his role as field manager in 1990. Under his guidance, the Braves became a perennial playoff contender, making an unprecedented run of 14 consecutive division titles from 1991 to 2005 (excluding the strike-shortened 1994 season). His ability to consistently lead his teams to the postseason is a testament to his managerial brilliance and adaptability.
One of Cox's most notable records is his 158 career ejections, the most in MLB history, surpassing the previous record held by John McGraw. Despite his fiery demeanor on the field, Cox was known for his unwavering loyalty to his players and his ability to foster a winning culture. His teams made 16 playoff appearances, and he became the first manager to lead a team to more than three consecutive National League Championship Series (NLCS) appearances, achieving this feat from 1991 to 1999. His impact on the game is undeniable, and his No. 6 jersey was retired by the Braves in recognition of his contributions.
Cox's legacy was further solidified when he was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014. His career is marked by six 100-win seasons, a record matched only by Joe McCarthy. His influence on the game extends beyond wins and losses, as he helped develop some of the greatest players in MLB history, including Hall of Famers like Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, and Chipper Jones. Cox's managerial style, which combined discipline with a deep understanding of the game, has left an indelible mark on baseball.
