Longtime Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox, whose teams ruled the National League during the 1990s and won the World Series in 1995, has died. He was 84.
The Atlanta Braves announced Cox's death Saturday; details weren't immediately available. Cox had a stroke in 2019.
"Bobby was the best manager to ever wear a Braves uniform. 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," the Braves said in a statement.

Cox took over a last-place team in June 1990 and led the Braves to a worst-to-first finish in 1991, losing the World Series to the Minnesota Twins in seven games. That was the start of what was to be a record 14 consecutive division titles, a feat no professional team in any sport had accomplished.
He managed the Braves for 25 years and led Atlanta to its only World Series title in 1995. He retired after the 2010 season and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.

"He is the Atlanta Braves," catcher Brian McCann said in 2019. "He's the best."
McCann described Cox as an "icon" and "one of the best human beings any of us have ever met."
The Braves retired Cox's No. 6 jersey in 2011, when he joined the team's Hall of Fame.
Cox spent 29 seasons as a major league manager, including four with Toronto. He managed 16 postseason teams. He brought an old-school approach to the dugout. He always wore spikes and stirrups, and his fatherly demeanor inspired loyalty from his players.
