Bobby Cox, the Hall of Fame manager who led the Atlanta Braves to their 1995 World Series title and 14 division championships, died Saturday at age 84.
The Braves called their 'treasured skipper' the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform, praising his knowledge of player development and managing the game.
Cox ranks fourth all-time in wins (2,504), behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. He managed the Braves from 1978-1981 and again from 1990-2010, with a stint leading the Toronto Blue Jays from 1982-1985 in between.
He won Manager of the Year four times and is one of only two managers to win the award in back-to-back seasons. The Braves retired his number 6 in 2011.
Cox led the Braves to the World Series five times, winning it all in 1995. Atlanta reached the postseason every year from 1991 to 2005 (excluding the strike-shortened 1994 season).
Cox was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2014.
He also held the MLB record for most ejections by a manager.
