Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Lou Piniella, all of whom retired from managing this year, were honored by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America on Saturday for their combined 81 years of managerial experience.
Cox finished fourth in career regular-season wins with 2,504, while Torre finished fifth with 2,326 and Piniella 14th with 1,835.
Torre and Piniella both thanked late Yankees owner George Steinbrenner — Torre for letting him manage New York for 12 years and Piniella for giving him his start as a manager. Cox, meanwhile, singled out former Braves pitchers Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz ‘for allowing me to keep working.’
