Atlanta Braves revealed their brand new statue at SunTrust Park on Thursday afternoon and it’s of Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox. As the fans walk up to the brand new SunTrust Park tomorrow night (Friday), they’ll be greeted by this statue at the first-base gate.
The Cox statue took about a year to produce and was made by sculptor Brian Hanlon. He also built the new statue of Hark Aaron at SunTrust.
The ol’ skipper led the Braves from 1976-81 and then from 1990-2010 — 25 seasons. Cox managed the Braves to 14 straight consecutive divisional championships, 2,149 wins and the 1995 World Series championship.
