About Bobby Cox
Bobby Cox's rookie card is 1969 Topps #237, showing him with the New York Yankees. It comes from the set's third series. The card carries the Topps All-Star Rookie trophy, earned after his 1968 debut season, when he played third base and batted .229 with 7 home runs and 41 RBI in 135 games. Knee injuries limited him to 85 games in 1969, his final major-league season before a long managing career that ended in Cooperstown.
Robert Joe Cox was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1959, spending seven seasons in the Dodgers, Cubs and Braves farm systems before the Braves traded him to the New York Yankees in December 1967. He debuted for New York on April 14, 1968, as a pinch-hitter, and as the regular third baseman that year batted .229 with 7 home runs and 41 RBI in 135 games. Knee injuries limited him to 85 games in 1969, which closed a two-year playing career at a .225 average. Cox began managing in the Yankees' farm system in 1971 and coached first base for the Yankees' 1977 World Series winners. He managed Atlanta and the Toronto Blue Jays, then returned to the Braves' dugout in 1990 and led them to 14 consecutive division titles from 1991 to 2005 and the 1995 World Series championship. He won four Manager of the Year awards, holds the all-time record for manager ejections, and saw the Braves retire his No. 6. He was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame as a manager in 2014.
