OK, Do you really know the influence Bobby Cox had on the Braves? Before his retirement last year, with needing a hip replacement and in tremendous pain, he ventured to talk Billy Wagner out of retirement. He had retired to spend time with his own son and family. He did it. And Billy Wagner spent one year to train and nourish Craig Kimbrell. Well, look what he did.Tonight, was the first ballgame he attended since retiring. He brought his own son and both were wearing Braves hats. He said in an interview it was like looking in a mirror and seeing himself. He had nothing but smiles. His kid was equally as happy. And oh yes, Kimbrell struck out the sides in the bottom of the ninth and did nothing but thank Billy Wagner. Well, I thank Booby Cox. What a great manager that is in the Hall of Fame. And by the way 12 straight. A great game tonight with great smiles. Thank you Bobby, Billy and Craig.
