Cox To Manage Braves Prospects at Coolray Field Exhibition

Former Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox will be a part of the exhibition game at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville on April 3, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Cox will manage a team of Braves farm system prospects in the game against the Braves, set for a 7:05 p.m. start. This will be the Atlanta Braves' final exhibition before their regular season opener on April 5.

Cox retired as Atlanta Braves skipper after the 2010 season, and is the fourth-winningest manager in major-league history.

Season ticket holders will be able to enter at 3:30 p.m. and will be greeted by former Atlanta Braves. Events for season ticket holders will include an on-field “meet and greet” with Braves players and prospects and a dugout Q&A session with Braves Executive Vice President and General Manager Frank Wren and other active Braves.
