Bobby Cox wasn’t just the Braves manager. He wasn’t just an icon. He is a legend. He is the man who turned kids into fans. He is the man who turned fans into fanatics. He is the man who transformed a franchise into the gold standard that sports teams across the world strive to be. He set the tone for the “Braves Way,” which lives on today and will continue to live on through future generations.
RIP to Bobby, and prayers to his friends and family.
Between college football self-immolating and the two men who brought us the peak of Braves baseball dying it’s been a rough week for those of us who came of age in the ‘90s
