[Kevin Ricks @Kevin_Ricks9]

Baseball…. The game of failure. The game that will humble you to your core. The game that teaches you resiliency.

[Rob Friedman @PitchingNinja]

Ben McDonald with a great story on failing on the biggest stage and bouncing back.

“I never failed at anything in my life…”

Then came the College World Series, a walk-off, an opposing coach talking trash and a punch in the gut he needed.

You can’t tell me @DiamondHeels don’t have the best uniforms in college baseball.

There really aren’t any rules. You just go to court. If it fails, go to court again until a judge says you’re all set.

Want a 7th year?

Sure

Broke rules?

Ahhhh, it’s fine.

There AREN’T any rules.

Bobby Cox saw the Savannah Bananas were playing at Truist Park and said “nah I’m out”.

[Chipper Jones @RealCJ10]

Haven’t posted on social in quite some time but can’t stay quiet in this time of loss. I’m struggling to tell all what Bobby Cox meant to me and so many others in Braves Country.
He was the leader of men and a second father to so many Atlanta Braves thru the yrs. I’m so sad today, but as I sit here watching my two youngest boys play in their championship games on the day he passed, I can’t help but shout the same things he did from the corner of the dugout. ‘Come on kid, u got this!’
We are gonna miss him so much, but his legacy is forever cemented with the success of this franchise for the last 35+ yrs. He started it as GM, continued as manager, and passing the torch to others, the Atlanta Braves will continue to be force that Bobby Cox always wanted us to be. We love you Skipper. You were our rock. I love you more than words can express.
My boys won both of their games…..Bobby had a hand, I have no doubt!

[Wiley Ballard @wileyballard_]

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.

[Trent @Trenciarte]

Walt Weiss has a decision to make. He either has to get ejected in tonight’s game or the first home game back in Atlanta.

It’s what Bobby would’ve wanted.

[Andruw Jones @andruwjones25]

RIP my second Father 🙏🏾

[Mark Bowman @mlbbowman]

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.

[Leland @ItsLeland]

In honor of Bobby Cox, here’s almost 20 minutes of him getting ejected.

Legend.
