Bobby Cox spent four seasons at the Blue Jays helm between 1982-85, winning a division title in 1985. The 77-year old Hall of Famer also spent 25 years as the Atlanta Braves skipper during two different stints sandwiched between his Toronto tenure. Cox managed the Braves during their golden era of the ’90s including the 1992 Word Series defeat at the hands of the Blue Jays.
Cox was present for the Braves opening day festivities, however, suffered a stroke this past Tuesday. Braves GM Alex Anthopoulos provided an update that Bobby was in as good spirits as he could be and reiterated that Cox is as tough as they come and has many folks pulling for him.
