Before I turned 17, I never knew another Braves manager. Watching him go ballistic on an umpire was every bit as thrilling as a Smoltz strikeout, a Chipper homer or an Andruw robbery. I’ll always cherish being in the stands for his final game in 2010. Rest In Peace, Skip.

We mourn the passing of Hall of Famer Bobby Cox, the fourth-winningest manager in MLB history. Cox led the Atlanta Braves to unprecedented success, winning 14 straight division titles from 1991-2005, along with 5 NL pennants and the 1995 World Series championship. The four-time Manager of the Year won 2,401 games overall, behind only Connie Mack, Tony La Russa, and John McGraw. Of the 13 managers with at least 2,000 career wins, only one (Joe McCarthy) got there in fewer games than Cox. Cox managed the Braves for 25 seasons in all, leading them to six 100-win seasons and eight 90-win seasons. He also managed the Blue Jays for four years, including the franchise’s first winning record in 1983 and first division title in 1985. As General Manager of the Braves from 1986-90, Cox laid the foundation for the teams he would manage to success over the next two decades by trading for one future Hall of Famer in John Smoltz, drafting another in Chipper Jones, and helping develop homegrown legend Tom Glavine. Owner of a .556 winning percentage in 29 total seasons as manager, Cox was elected to the Hall of Fame in 2014. He was 84 years old.

Bobby Cox’s fighting spirit will never be forgotten. It was incredible that he managed to crawl to his neighbor’s house to get help when he had his stroke in 2019. Before the Braves went to Philly for the 2023 NLCS, friends and family members were told to prepare their goodbyes. There was a sense he might be gone by the time the team returned to Atlanta. Then, just a few months’ ago, he survived a bout with COVID. He didn’t eat for a few days and then awoke one day and said, “I’m hungry.” He was an incredible man.

When you think of Ted Turner's broad impact, it really shows you just how washed most modern billionaires are.

Ted Turner, the former owner of the Braves and Hawks who made his mark as a media mogul and a philanthropist, has died at the age of 87.

Since joining the ACC in 2005, Boston College men’s tennis has a conference record of 3-233. Yet another winless conference schedule but trust me, BC is building something great here. 2027 is BC’s year

@KingofSports98 Never go to a game again 👍

Finally able to properly enjoy some Birdball! Watching the Eagles beat Maine before the softball game kicks off at 5.

@Philly_Mays Score ?

Ehhhh idk this is also a pretty good view

@SECKnowsBall @graham_dietz 🤙

@graham_dietz A whopping 250 people 😭😭 That’s legit smaller than my stadium in high school back in day

This is probably the most full I have seen the stands at Harrington this year. Most seats are taken and many more standing up. The Birdball stock is becoming blue-chip.

@AJBlack247 Nice
