Giants Vs. Braves, NLDS Game 2: Bobby Cox Ejected, Perhaps For The Last Time

On Friday night, Braves manager Bobby Cox was ejected, and it may well be the very last of a record number of ejections.

In the second inning, Alex Gonzalez hustled to first on a ground ball, and it appeared in replays that first baseman Aubrey Huff was drawn off the bag.. Umpire Paul Emmel, though, called him out. First Gonzalez protested, then first base coach Glenn Hubbard, before Cox himself emerged from the dugout.

After arguing with Emmel, Cox appealed to home plate umpire Paul Nauert. Shortly thereafter, he was ejected, and the AT&T Park crowd sent him off with cheers.

This was Cox’s 158th career ejection, which only extends the all-time record. It’s also his third career postseason ejection. How many current managers have three career postseason games? It’s a testament to Cox’s longevity, success, and general crankiness.
