Bobby reminisces about growing up in this farming community
and the rich heritage/memories of this San Joaquin Valley town.

Doesn't Bobby Jr. live in Southern Calif. ?
Bobby talks about family meeting him in San Diego. A lot cooler.

I know he's flying back to ATL.
Can you update us on Smoltz and his status ?

In 1990, Chipper was the first pick in the draft.
You were the GM. [Paul Snyder - Farm Director].
Have you ever seen Chipper swing the bat better ? [as he is now]
"He's as good as ever for me." - BC

Escobar looks like he was born to bat and and born to field ?

- Meck to Bobby ..
I've got a hunch Andruw will hit at least 30 HR'S and have 110 RBI'S.

Brad Penny is a dandy pitcher for the Dodgers ?
He's suppose to start his 2nd straight All-Star game.

Your favorite memories Managing 5 All-Star games ?
Thoughts on McCann making the All-Star team ?
Are you like me Bobby .. I feel like the only guy at the U.N. without a headset ..
with Renteria not making it? [ All-Star team]

Pleasant surprises for the year? [at the brk]
Improvements for the team to get over the top ?

With Frenchy, McCann, Salty and Escobar [ the young guys coming up] ..
Are you thinking about staying until your 76 ..?
--
I know you really helped Raffy and encouraged him when he was playing for you.
Have you met with your buddy Rafael Furcal ?
'Saw him yesterday. He gave me a big hug and I gave him a big hug.
He takes care of his entire family. You've got to give him a lot of credit.' - BC

Just as you are a big encourager to Raffy, myself and others ..
How would you encourage those listening today [ who might be down] ?

'Helping other people and caring for people is No. 1.' - BC

Re The All-Star Break.
I know when you land from the west coast Monday morning [ about 7]
and you pull up to the farm ..
13 special young people will welcome 'Gran-Bobby' home for a 4 day break.

Bobby talks about his grilling plans: "STEAKS .. Hotdogs .. Little bit of everything.'
And fun on the farm.
' Little Football .. Fishing ..'

excerpt from Mark Bradley column - ajc.com - Jul. 3rd.
Pam Cox is simply looking forward to next week’s All-Star break.
She had an outdoor kitchen built for him on the farm, where the clan will gather.

Thanks for your TIME today and listening to our show with Bobby Cox - MR. ENCOURAGER.
Bobby's kindness and the compassion he gives others will long outlive his Hall of Fame Stats.

As I've shared with Bobby .. ' If I ever go to the electric chair .. I want to have my last meal with you.
At least I'll have a smile on my face and feel good about it.'

Thanks to my friend, Clay Bowen/Bowen Pharmacy for inviting Bobby to go hunting and fishing
[ if he makes it to LA - Dothan after the season].

A Special Thanks to Super Dave in New York for putting our show together [ as always].
I'm grateful to Jennifer [ in San Fran] for keeping TheMeck.com up and running.
