**In this series we strive to prove the universal truth that every baseball player holds some kind of record.**
Ever since the Beckett Blog did a post on Bobby Cox's retirement and the small amount of cards he was on in his 29 years as a manager. The post stated that Bobby's rookie card from the 1969 Topps set goes for about $20 and they are right. I was lucky enough to find card that was listed as "poor" condition at a Buy It Now price for $5 but I've seen eBay listing that would list the same card as "very good" and not think a thing of it.
See for yourself:

Now onto the record...Bobby Cox holds the record for number of times being ejected from a game. He was ejected 161 times [158 regular season games and three playoff games] which is 29 more games than the previous record holder, John McGraw.
Here are a few other Cox cards from my collection:
