Watching Bobby Cox get tossed from games seemingly twice a week was such a joy for young me.


Seeing him hobble out there with his knees to bitch at umpires was always fun.

My mom didn't care about baseball, but I watched so much that she eventually recognized players. She called Bobby "Mean Ole Man".

Greg Maddux was "Little Ears", and she wasn't a fan of Ryan Klesko because he was constantly dropping f'bombs.
