The Atlanta Braves were once considered one of baseball’s most consistent franchises. Former manager Bobby Cox demanded toughness from his players. Hall of Fame pitcher John Smoltz recently credited him for boasting this same attribute.
The Braves celebrated the 30-year anniversary of their 1995 World Series victory, and Cox was in attendance despite his ongoing health challenges.
“What a beautiful evening in Atlanta where they celebrated the 30-year anniversary of their 1995 World Series championship Friday highlighted by Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox making a rare appearance,” USA Today’s Bob Nightengale wrote.
