Born May 21, 1941, in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was Baseball Hall of Fame Manager Bobby Cox. Cox is best known for heading the Atlanta Braves on the field and their dominance during the 1980s and 1990s. Bobby started out as a fine MLB player though years earlier in the New York Yankees organization. He also had a brief stint as a Manager with the Toronto Blue Jays. To his credit Cox had been named Manager of the Year four times (1985, 1991, 2004, 2005) and is one of only four managers to have won the award in both the American and National League.

June 8, 2009, Cox won his 2,000th game with the Atlanta Braves, becoming only the fourth manager in Major League history to accomplish that feat with one team.
