The Atlanta Braves announced today that they have signed manager Bobby
Cox to a one-year contract extension through the 2008 season.
The winningest manager in Braves franchise history, Cox is in his
26th season as a big-league skipper and his 22nd year at the Braves'
helm (1978-81, 1990-present). He owns 2,180 career wins, placing him
fifth on the all-time victory list and second among active managers.
Cox has recorded 1,825 wins with the Braves and another 355 in four
seasons (1982-85) with the Toronto Blue Jays. He and Hall of Fame
manager Joe McCarthy are the only two managers in history to post six
100-win campaigns.
The 65-year-old Cox has guided Atlanta to Major League
Baseball's best overall record since 1991 (1,519-1,018). Since then,
the Braves have earned a 14 division championships, five National
League pennants and a World Series title. Cox has guided his clubs to
66 postseason wins - second all-time to New York's Joe Torre (75).
