Christmas in Jul.....ok September!
It has been announced that Bobby Cox will return to manage the Braves for one more year. Hooray!
They are calling it "The Farewell Tour". Look, I don't want to quarrel with the Braves PR staff but it should really be called "The Farewell EJECTION Tour" as this gives Bobby 162 opportunities to add to his managerial career record of 150 game ejections.
You know what I want to see? A Bobby Cox ejection in every National League stadium in 2010 with the grand finale in game 162. For that last game, they should even let him have dogs or something for some added antagonism towards those dastardly umpires.
Remember when Topps made that special tribute Hank Aaron card in the 1974 set and designated it the #1 card in the set in anticipation of Hank breaking the career home run record?
Topps has got to do the same thing for Bobby in 2010 in their base set. They just have to.
How often does this happen?
