Bobby Cox Toronto Blue Jays (1982–1985) Cox took over as manager of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1982, and the team gradually improved during his four-year tenure. The Blue Jays finished first in the American League East in 1985, Cox’s fourth season with the team. After 16 seasons of a best-of-five format, the American League Championship Series was expanded to a best-of-seven format that season. This arrangement proved decisive as Cox’s Blue Jays became only the fifth club in history to lose a playoff series after leading the Kansas City Royals 3 games to 1. He finished his tenure as manager with a regular season record of 355 wins and 292 losses. Following the demise of the Blue Jays, Cox rejoined the Braves as general manager. Cox fired Russ Nixon in June 1990 and declared himself field manager after going through two managers in less than five years with poor attendance and outlook results. Cox spent the previous four years acquiring outstanding players such as Tom Glavine, Steve Avery, John Smoltz, Ron Gant, and David Justice. In addition, he was in charge of selecting Chipper Jones with the first overall pick in the 1990 draft. [8] After the season, he assigned the general manager position to Kansas City Royals general manager John Schuerholz. In 1992, Cox’s Braves led the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-1 in the National League Championship Series before losing Games 5 and 6, however, they won Game 7 on a ninth-inning, two-out, pinch-hit, two-run single by Francisco Cabrera. They lost the World Series to his previous team, the Toronto Blue Jays. In 1993, the Braves had the best record in baseball after overcoming a ten-game deficit in August to defeat the San Francisco Giants in the pennant chase. They won the division by one game after going 51-17 over the last two and a half months of the season. However, they lost in six games to the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series. 1995–96 Cox’s only World Series championship as a manager came in 1995, when the Atlanta Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians. Winning their division in 1995 marked the first time a Pennsylvania team had not won the National League East since 1989. Cox was arrested on a simple assault charge in May 1995 after his wife reported that he had assaulted her. The next day, she reversed her story, and the charges were dropped after the couple attended court-ordered treatment. The Braves won the division again in 1996. After sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division series, Braves pitching fell three games to one in St. Louis. Louis Cardinals in 1996. In the final three games, the Braves offense outscored the Cardinals 33-1 to win the pennant. Cox became the only manager in history to lose a three-game series lead and win from a three-game series deficit. [10] The scoring continued in the first two games of the World Series against the New York Yankees, as the Braves won 12-1 and 4-0 to take a two-game lead. In game four, the Braves took a 6-0 lead in the fourth inning before the Yankees rallied. Jim Leyritz homered to tie the game, and the Yankees won 8-6 in 11 innings to square the series. The Yankees would go on to win six games. Cox was ejected in Game 6; until Dave Martinez was ejected in Game 6 against the Houston Astros in 2019, he was the last person to be ejected in a World Series game. 1997–2001 The Braves lost in the 1997 NLCS to the Florida Marlins and again in the 1998 NLCS to the San Diego Padres. The Braves returned to the World Series in 1999, but lost in four games to the defending World Series champion New York Yankees. Cox’s 2001 club won the division title and defeated the favored Houston Astros in three straight division series games. In the NLCS, however, the Arizona Diamondbacks defeated the Braves in five games. One of Cox’s most notable games as Braves manager during this period came on September 21, 2001, when they faced the rival New York Mets in the city’s first major professional sporting event since the 9/11 attacks. He was ejected from eleven games in a season in 2001, tying a record shared by John McGraw, Bill Dahlen, and Paul Richards.
