Bobby Cox grew up in Oklahoma, but later moved to California where he went to the Selma High School in the San Joaquin Valley. He signed an amateur contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1959, where he spent five seasons as a second baseman and third baseman. The Chicago Cubs drafted Cox in 1964, but he was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 1966, and later moved to the New York Yankees in 1967.
Cox played two seasons for the Yankees, mostly as the third baseman, but knee injuries prevented him from continuing his playing career, so he retired from the MLB in 1969. However, Cox played baseball in the Venezuelan Winter League, representing the Cardenales de Lara and Leones del Caracas from 1967 to 1970, and later started his managerial career with the Cardenales from 1974 to 1977, while in 1977, he served as the first base coach with the Yankees.
In 1978, he took over at the Atlanta Braves but wasn’t successful in his first two seasons, being placed last in the league. However, thanks to Cox’s skills and the talent of Dale Murphy, who became one of the league’s best players, Atlanta finished fourth in 1980, which was their first season above .500 since 1974. In 1981, the owner Ted Turner fired Cox after the baseball strike and replaced him with Joe Torre. Cox ended his first stint with the Braves with a 266-323 record in regular season, but his net worth was established.
Cox joined the Toronto Blue Jays in 1982 and drastically improved them over the four years of his management, and ended his Blue Jays days with a record of 355 wins and 292 defeats. From 1985 to 1990, Cox served as the Atlanta Braves General Manager, but in 1990 he fired Russ Nixon and appointed himself as the new manager. In the next season, Cox led the Braves to the World Series, but they lost to the Minnesota Twins in seven games. In 1992, Atlanta won the National League Championship Series against the Pittsburgh Pirates in seven games but lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the World Series.
In 1993, the Braves made the playoffs again, but this time they were stopped in the National League Championship Series by the Philadelphia Phillies in six games. However, Cox finally win the World Series in 1995 after a 4-2 win over the Cleveland Indians, which was the only title in his managerial career. The Braves were close to defending the title in 1996 in the World Series, leading the Yankees 2-0, but New York won the series 4-2. The two teams met again in the finals in 1999, with the Yankees winning again, this time they swept the series in four games.
The Atlanta Braves made the playoffs several more times until 2010, but never made it through the first round. Cox’s last game was on October 11, 2010 when the Braves were defeated by the San Francisco Giants in the National League Division Series. After two stints with Atlanta, Cox’s record is 2,149 wins and 1,709 losses, while in total he has 2,504 wins and 2,001 losses in a regular season.
Regarding his personal life, Bobby Cox married Pamela Boswell in 1976 and has one child with her.

Mikey Teutul Net Worth
Michael Joseph was born 26 November 1978, in Montgomery, New York State USA, and widely known as Mikey Teutul, is a reality television personality, the youngest son of Orange County Choppers founder Paul Teutul, Sr. Mikey began his working life at 14, in the family business.
So just how rich is Mikey Teutul, as of late 2017? Authoritative sources estimate that Mikey has a net worth of over $3 million dollars, largely earned by working at his father’s and older brother Paul Jr,’s company Orange County Choppers (OCC), and Orange County Iron Works, and through his TV appearances.
Mikey Teutul Net Worth $3 Million
Little is known of Mikey’s early life or education – it seems to have always revolved around the family business. Helping out his family in his teens, theoretically he worked as Assistant General Manager. but his main duties were to answer ‘phones, and clear-up and take out the trash. He was on rare occasions given the chance to build bikes, until he was competent to build his own. He also attended events for promoting OCC.
In 2002, the family was invited to take part in a reality show, Discovery Channel’s “American Chopper”, and subsequently “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”, in the course of which the youngest son was thrown out of the business – the middle son is Daniel, and younger sister Cristin. The reason for Mikey’s exclusion was that Mikey tried to be a mediator between his father and his brother, but his father seemed to be offended that his younger son did not take his side, and so threw him out of the business. During the filming of the show, Mikey was somethoing of a comedy relief to his father’s workers, and that comedy streak helped gain him popularity in TV shows. Mikey then joined his brother’s post-OCC venture, -Paul Jr Designs – along with most of their father’s employees; obviously the work atmosphere with Paul Teutul, Sr. was not a particularly happy one. Mikey’s eldest brother Paul Jr. was the former chief fabricator of OCC.
So actually the main source of Mikey Teutul’s wealth is not his father’s business, but the shows he eventually took part in. These have included ‘The Late Show with David Letterman”, “Late Night with Conan O’Brien”, and also “The Tonight Show” with Jay Leno. The shows became very popular and Mikey’s appearances earned him a significant amount of money. To say the least, the family drama did not go without consequences – according to rumours, Mikey Teutul was suffering from an addiction problem, and consequently admitted himself to rehab, and managed to overcome the bad habits which were apparently hindering his progress in life, obviously including business.
In his life away from the businesses already referred to and the limelight of TV, Michael loves to paint, and is apparently respected for his productions, as he opened “The Wolfgang Gallery” gallery in Montgomery, New York, where he has sold or auctioned his paintings, adding somewhat to is net worth, although rumours suggest that the gallery may now be closed. Most recently, Mikey is now trying to enter the market under the moniker LLC FarQueue Products with his line of gourmet pasta sauces. Good luck, Mikey!
In his less-than-private personal life, Mikey is apparently still single – there aren’t even any rumours of romantic liaisons.
