The Braves plan to retire former manager Bobby Cox's No. 6 during a ceremony
on Aug. 12 before a home bout with the Cubs.
Cox will be the first to have his number retired by the Braves only for his
accomplishments as a manager.
Cox, who retired after last season, is fourth all-time with 2,504 wins,
including 2,149 wins in 25 years with the Braves.
"Bobby Cox exemplifies the Braves organization," team president John
Schuerholz said.
"Inducting him into our Hall of Fame and retiring his legendary No. 6 is
fitting recognition for a man who has done so much for our organization, our
great game and the city of Atlanta."
