Bobby Cox

Robert Joseph Cox, most widely known as Bobby Cox, (born May 21, 1941 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA) is a former player — and current manager — in Major League Baseball. He is currently the manager of the Atlanta Braves, who he first led from 1978 to 1981, and later rejoined in 1990. Cox was also general manager of that organization from 1985-1990. He also managed the Toronto Blue Jays from 1982 to 1985.

He has won one World Series championship, in 1995. In 2001 he became the winningest manager in Braves history.

Cox is also known, somewhat dubiously, for his short temper with the umpires. Cox holds the Major League record for most ejections in a career, and is the only manager to be ejected from two World Series games (once in 1992, and again in 1996).
