[[tmz:video id="0_dwlskku9"]] Legendary Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox says he's got a special place in his heart for newly minted Hall of Famer Chipper Jones ... cause he says the dude saved his job. To be fair, Chipper owes a lot to Cox, too ... Bobby was general manager of the Braves when Jones was drafted #1 overall in 1990, and the two won a World Series together five years later.

The Giants will go on to face the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Championship Series, which will kick off this Saturday, October 16. While the game represented forward motion for the Giants, it represented the end of the line for the Braves — and more specifically for manager Bobby Cox, who is hanging up the spurs after 29 seasons as a skipper.
