Bobby Cox has managed for 32 years overall, 3 for Toronto Blue Jays and during 2 separate stints with Atlanta for a total of 29 years, once the 2010 season is complete, Cox will retire into the sunset. Cox has managed the Braves to a 1995 World Series title vs. Cleveland, more than a decade of success during consecutive seasons in which Atlanta won division titles and several Fall Classic appearances. However during 2010 season the Braves currently lead the defending 3 time NL East & 2 time defending NL Pennant champion Phillies by 6 games, Philadelphia is currently in 3rd place and lead 2ND place New York Mets by 3 games. Could Cox final season end up making the playoffs, his closer Billy Wagner announced this would be his final season as well, who knows for long time Brave slugger Chipper Jones, who's battled injuries during the season and in past seasons as well. Nevertheless Atlanta is getting contribuations from their bench, everyday lineup, starting and relief pitching. Thus far the Braves are an amazing 20 games over .500 at Turner Field with a 30-10 record at home, they'll need 2nd half improvement on the road as they are 5 games under .500 at 20-25, however they just took 2 of 3 in Philadelphia at Citizens Bank Park. Now the team will head to New York to take on the Mets, prior to the All Star break.
