Persistence

On some level, 142 ejections (and counting) is a remarkable milestone for Bobby Cox. The fact that the guy still cares enough to get tossed is kind of amazing, given that he's the modern-day Connie Mack in terms of longevity (he's now working his 23rd season in Atlanta, and his 27th overall).

The guy is also 67 years old, for Pete's sake. Which leads me to wonder just how he's getting run, really. Is there such a timeliness to his profanity and insults, or does he more or less just get out there and ask the umpire to run him as a favor? Seriously, Bobby, tell us your secrets. Consider history.
