Players remember Bobby Cox as the ultimate playersâ manager. Thatâs probably why Cox holds the MLB record for most ejections with 162 in his career.
Cox said he would always stick up for his players as long as they gave it their all.
âIf theyâre giving 100 percent, they were always going to be backed by me. If they werenât, it was going to be a different story and thatâs all I asked them to do, was entertain the fans, give 100 percent all the time. Letâs try to win, and when youâre trying, it was awfully hard for me to get mad at somebody,â Cox once said.
In the wake of his passing, Braves players kept calling Cox a âsecond fatherâ to them, including fellow Hall of Famer Chipper Jones.
âHe was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. Iâm so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I canât help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. âCome on kid, u got this!ââ Jones wrote in part on social media.
