Bobby Cox
13 August 2010
uo;s hope this isn’t it for the man who has played his entire major league career for manager Bobby Cox. Chipper has made it known since last season that retirement could be around the corner, but like Baseball Tonight’s Eduardo Perez, I don’t see Chipper calling it quits now that his season has ended unexpectedly. He wants to go out on his own terms, and these aren’t them. At 38, his career is nearing the end, but I find it hard to believe that he will be able to say good-bye after watching from the bench as his team battles for the National League crown.

Braves manager Bobby Cox announced this week his plans to retire after the 2010 season and to immediately take on a consulting role with the team. Cox has won 2,409 games as a manager and is fourth all-time in the category, behind only Connie Mack (3,731), John McGraw (2,763) and current Cardinals manager Tony La Russa (2,550). Cox has five pennants and one World Series title to his name, and won the Manager of the Year award four times. Under his leadership, the Braves have won 100 games six times. The next manager of the Atlanta Braves will have big shoes to fill.

John Schuerholz is used to making do with whatever the farm system and free agency brings him, and Bobby Cox always seems to get the best out of whatever lineup he's offered. But this year, luck may be catching up with him. On the DL right now are: John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Mike Hampton, Rafael Soriano, and Peter Moylan.

They were in the World Series five times during that run, though they only won it once, and Bobby Cox always seemed to be able to get the most out of his teams, an ever-changing mix of veterans and rookies and free agents. The long winning tradition and national coverage made many call them "America's Team," the team that was always in contention and always on TV, no matter your region or your cable/satellite package.
