innings Hes get Ting its just his passion for the game and his he really loves his after 26 seasons As a major league Cox is just As feisty As when he began manag ing in Hes already been ejected five times this sea with More than a month until the Allstar in a series against Philadelphia May Cox was tossed from a game for perhaps the most com Pelling of reasons defending a Edgar Renteria began arguing a called third and his manager quickly came out to join the Home plate Umpire Paul Emmel ejected the very next with the braves trailing the Phillies getting a kick out of the game Bobby in his 26th season As a including 22 with the Atlanta is one ejection shy of John Mcgraws dubious most career ejections As regular season name ejections through june 1 John Mcgraw Earl Weaver 97 note major

Al though to replays appeared to show the Ball Landing on the foul Side of the Cox insisted it was fair so strongly that Kulpa gave him the rest of the game and that just Fine with i have All the respect in the world for and id do any thing if one of them got in Trou Cox i used to do a Little umpiring when i was a kid in High i  do any thing similar to what they i As sure its hard to imagine Mcgraw Ever saying something like during three decades As Man Ager of the new York he never backed from a Chance to intimidate an once calculating that his Persis tent needling might be Worth an extra so runs a Mcgraw died in Long be fore the Era of so later managers such As Leo Billy Martin and Earl Weaver got More attention for their epic show Downs with the men in in each of those Guys seemed More calculated and contrived than who never been one to turn around his Cap so he can get right in umpires face or kick a pile of dirt on Home know ing it will draw a big cheer from the Cox might be a but at least he seems believe Hes got no ene Mies in the Umpire Gar Cia you used to hear Guys talk bad about Billy Martin or Earl Weaver or Dick but you dont hear umpires say anything bad about Bobby when you say Bobby they Start there Are some similarities be tween Cox and both spent most of their careers with one team Mcgraw ran the giants for 30 of his 33 seasons As a Man while Cox has spent a but four years with the Mcgraw ranks second in career victories with while Cox was fourth through Fri Days game against the Chicago Many of Coxs ejections Stem from his complaints about balls and a tendency that Likely stemmed from having some of baseballs Best pitchers for much of his including by Young winners Tom Glavine and Greg although the braves often seemed to Benefit from Liberal strike zones for Glavine and mad it was never enough to assuage their i think i Only caused one of who now pitches for the quipped during a recent series in i feel pretty Good about i know Gla Vine got him a smolt Zie got him a few at least i played a part in it so did the of they actually seem proud to have tossed Cox so Many if somebody is going to break that in glad its Garcia if its possible to do it with dignity and he freelance writer Amy Lloyd contributed to this
