Good news: Robert Joseph Cox spent the past five years as a consultant for a Braves franchise that he helped make famous, and he just received a two-year contract extension. In essence, his long-time bosses are asking Bobby Cox to continue as Bobby Cox, which actually is great news.
This would be even better news: The Braves announcing sooner rather than later that Cox will receive a lifetime contract. He ranks among those baseball folks who should remain forever in a high-profile capacity with a given franchise, and for this column, I'm talking only about those who became huge beyond slugging, pitching, fielding or running.
