Default Cox back in Braves' dugout, possibly for final season

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) -- For the 49th time, Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox is at spring training, looking right at home in the clubhouse at Disney's Wide World of Sports complex.

He's not the same strapping young man who began his career as an infielder in 1960 in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. In fact, he's about to turn 67, and last year broke the dubious record for getting ejected from the most games in major league history.

He tried to walk away from the dugout once, back in 1985 when he left the Toronto Blue Jays to take over as the Braves' general manager. Five years later he was back on the bench, and hasn't left since, although speculation is rampant around camp that this may be the year Cox calls it quits.
