Farewell, Bobby.

I remember my first baseball game ever: Three Rivers' Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with the visiting Atlanta Braves playing the home Pittsburgh Pirates. The year was 1992. My memories of that game are simple, including ice cream bought by my dad and that the former Cy Young-award winner, Tommy Glavine, was on the hill pitching for the Braves. I don't remember much about either of the managers from that game, but lacing up his cleats and pulling up his stir-ups on this day to lead the Braves out of the visitors' dug-out was none other than Bobby Cox.

Yesterday, we said good-bye to a great baseball legend. Thank you, Bobby Cox.
