Braves fans go crazy over smiling Bobby Cox’s appearance during Phillies game

Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox made a rare visit to Truist Park for the Atlanta Braves' game against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night, where he received a standing ovation from Braves fans.

Fan cheered after the 83-year-old Cox was introduced as “the very best manager in the history of the game, our beloved No. 6, Bobby Cox.”

Cox, who led the Braves to the 1995 World Series title and retired after the 2010 season, stood and waved to the crowd. The Atlanta legend has only attended a handful of games since he was hospitalized in 2019 following a massive stroke.
