Braves Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox was taken to an Atlanta hospital Tuesday night after suffering a possible stroke. WSB-TV first reported that Cox was ill and taken to the hospital for a possible stroke. That report was later confirmed by MLB.com’s Mark Bowman.
Cox’s family and the Braves released statements Wednesday afternoon.
Statement from the Cox family:
“We want to thank all of you who have sent their well wishes or said a prayer. We know the power of Braves Country and we hope those prayers and positive thoughts continue as Bobby heals.
