Baseball Editorial Review
"In the Time of Bobby Cox" is a memoir by Lang Whitaker, a devoted Atlanta Braves fan, about his experiences following the Braves and some of the players he liked and disliked over two decades. While he talks about Cox from time to time, the book is not solely devoted to him. The author intertwines his personal memories with his experiences with the Braves and gained a new appreciation for Bobby Cox as a manager. However, the life lessons learned from the Braves and Bobby Cox are what the book is structured around, and this aspect of the book falls flat. Nevertheless, Lang's insights and interactions with Greg Maddux were what made the book a nice piece of nostalgia.
