Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox remains hospitalized in the Atlanta area after suffering a possible stroke, according to MLB.com's Mark Bowman and WSB-TV's Zach Klein.
Cox, 77, is best remembered for managing the Braves during their run of 14 consecutive division titles from 1991-2005. He had two stints as the club's manager (1978-81, 1990-2010) and also served as Atlanta's general manager from 1986-90.
In addition to his time with the Braves, Cox played with the Yankees in 1968 and 1969, and later broke into managing in New York's farm system. He also managed the Blue Jays (1982-85).
Cox took part in the Braves' on-field pregame ceremonies prior to Monday's home opener. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014.
