It is an important number because that's number of ejections that Bobby Cox has now; he has officially broken the record for the most ejections in a career. He now owns it courtesy of the home plate umpire Ted Barrett waved in his direction at Turner Field on Tuesday night.
Barrett tossed Cox for arguing a called third strike against Chipper Jones that ended the fifth inning. This was the 132nd career ejection for the Braves skipper, moving him past John McGraw to the top of Major League Baseball's all-time list.
McGraw received 14 of his ejections during his playing career. All of Cox's ejections have come while he's been a manager. Congratulations to Bobby Cox for officially becoming an umpire's worst man to deal with.
Lou Piniella: Bobby Cox, enjoy it while you can.
