Bobby Cox voted in to Baseball Hall of Fame

[Krgrecw]

Is there a press conference at 10 am today announcing this?

Edit:Just announced by the expansion committee! Congrats Bobby!

Veteran's Committee is deciding today. Still have to go up against Torre and LaRussa. Can't see them taking all at once. Even more than one would be a surprise, but all are deserving.

Was just announced. He was voted in by expansion committee!

Fantastic! And well-deserved for Bobby!

Now that I'm in NY, might have to drive up to Cooperstown this summer.

 

[CyYoung31]

So happy.

It's amazing that we're going to have back-to-back HoF managers.

 

[The Tariff King]

Let's go for the hat trick. Bobby-Maddux-Glavine

Congrats to Bobby, well deserved.

 

[JohnAdcox]

I am seriously planning to go up to see that. Always wanted to make the trip.

 

[Hawk]

Congrats to the Boobster.

My family is planning on going to cooperstown this year I'm trying to convince them to go after the induction since you knew Bobby and maddux are going at least. Hopefully glavine joins him.

Russ Nixon is in the HoF?

 

[Dalyn]

Awesome news. Miss the hell out of Bobby.

 

[mossy]

We were so fortunate to have Bobby. Glad he is where he belongs now. HOF.

 

[CrimsonCowboy]

Congratulations Bobby! Very well deserved. Cooperstown may have to be annexed into Braves Country on Hall of Fame weekend.

Just a trip down the NYS Thruway from here. Maybe a 4 hour drive?

Russ Nixon was after Chuck Tanner, who replaced Eddie Haas. Bobby Wine may have been interim manager, sometime during that time frame, too.

Russ Nixon was after Chuck Tanner, who replaced Eddie Haas. Bobby Wine may have been interim manager, sometime during that time frame, too.

I think Wine finished out the season that Haas began and Tanner was hired after that season (along with Cox as the GM/Manager team). Tanner proceeded to bring in a bunch of washed-up vets (I'm looking at you Omar Moreno) and the team just stunk. Tanner had a couple of the worst bullpens I have ever seen.

Hard to watch Bobby sitting next to LaRussa. I imagine they wanted to strangle each other.
