Eddie Perez, 1995 World Series champion and current Braves coach
“I am saddened to hear the passing of Bobby Cox. Bobby was very influential in my career both as a player and as a coach but perhaps the most important influence he had on me was as being like a 2nd father to me. Coming to this country at a young age and feeling lost at times became easier when you had people like Bobby in your corner to be your support and always push you to be better. Bobby, you will be missed but I will never forget the impact you had on me, my career, my family, and this organization. ❤️”
Brad Clontz, 1995 World Series champion
“Sad day, this man meant the world to us. The greatest manager we could ever have asked to play for. RIP Bobby , thanks for all you did for my career. Trusted me in any pressure situation especially with bases loaded. Will cherish those memories forever.”
