With the Atlanta Braves’ 2-3 loss to the San Francisco Giants in the 2010 National League Divisional Series, the Braves were eliminated from the postseason, ending Bobby Cox’s managerial career.

Cox, 69, in 29 seasons as a big league manager went 2504-2001 with the Atlanta Braves and Toronto Blue Jays. He won 5 National League pennants and 1 World Series title in 1995.

In addition to Cox’s retirement, left-handed closer Billy Wagner is also calling it a career. The 38-year-old was removed from the NLDS roster due to an oblique injury suffered in Game 2. Had the Braves advanced to the World Series, he would have been eligible to be activated.  Wagner has a $6.5 million option that has vested, but he’s content with walking away from the guaranteed money.

From the PRO Rumors team, thanks Mr. Cox for sharing your career with baseball fans around the world.
