ATLANTA — There is a bronze statue of Bobby Cox outside the first-base gate at Truist Park, and a plaque at Cooperstown bearing his likeness in an Atlanta Braves cap with a rundown of the accomplishments of Hall of Famer Robert Joe Cox, one of the great managers in baseball history and an Atlanta sports icon.

Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox received a warm ovation at Truist Park as the Atlanta Braves celebrated the 30-year anniversary of their 1995 World Series championship before Friday night's game against the New York Mets.
