Getting your player ready...
Just when it seemed things couldn’t get worse for the last-place Atlanta Braves . . . Manager Bobby Cox was honored Tuesday with a ceremony on Capitol Hill hosted by U.S. Sens. Johnny Isakson of Georgia and Jay Rockefeller of West Virginia. The Braves were in town to play the Washington Nationals, and Cox was saluted for his 50 years in baseball. But the decorative writing on the dessert cake misspelled his name in a rather unfortunate way. “That’s funny,” Cox said. “What bakery did he get that cake? That’s what I want to know.”
