“Bobby was a favorite among all in the baseball community, especially those who played for him,” the team wrote in a post on X. “His wealth of knowledge on player development and the intricacies of managing the game were rewarded with the sport’s ultimate prize in 2014 — enshrinement into the Baseball Hall of Fame.”
“And while Bobby’s passion for the game was unparalleled, his love of baseball was exceeded only by his love for his family,” the team added. “It is with the heaviest of hearts that we send our sincerest condolences to his beloved wife, Pam, and their loving children and grandchildren.”
Cox led the Braves to 14 consecutive division titles from 1991 to 2005, including five National League pennants and the 1995 World Series title.
