 | Virginia Beach Manager Cox Named Top Skipper in BBL Friday, September 17th, 1999 Virginia Beach manager Bobby Cox was selected as the 1999 Bad Boyz League Manager of the Year today. He was somewhat of a dark horse next to some of the more flashy managers up for the award. Cox, who prefers that everyone call him "Cap" or "Skip," tries to shy away from the limelight in a media-driven world. "It's really unfair to the guys that busted their humps all year long to put all the focus on me now. They showed up early, put in extra time in the cage, worked on their fielding, consulted with our coaching staff and really made 1999 a highlight in my career." In fairness to this year's Manager of the Year, Cox certainly played an important part in the Blue Claws success as he guided them to a first place finish in the American Division and a 78-42 record. |   |
