ARIZONA—BOB MELVIN

Born October 28, 1961 in Palo Alto, CA . . . Resides in Cave Creek, AZ . . . 6'4" . . . 210 . . .Married, Kelley . . . One daughter, Alexi.

Bob Melvin led the D-backs to a National League best 90-72 record and the club’s fourth postseasonberth in 10 seasons, including a trip to the National League Championship Series for the second time infranchise history. He earned the National League Manager of the Year award, becoming the first Arizonamanager to win the honor. Over three seasons at the helm with the D-backs, Melvin has guided theteam to a 243-243 record. He has a career managerial record of 399-411.

Melvin used 146 different line-ups (position players) to secure the club’s 90 wins, a 14-game improvement from the 2006 squad(76-86). The D-backs were 32-20 in 1-run games, the highest win total in franchise history. Arizona spent the first half of the sea-son bouncing between third and first place in the NL West, but spent 49 of the 72 second-half games in first place, falling into sec-ond place only once on September 3.

Melvin was named manager of the D-backs on November 5, 2004, returning to Arizona after a two-year stint as skipper of theSeattle Mariners. He served as Bob Brenly’s bench coach during the 2001-02 seasons. Both of those campaigns culminated inWestern Division titles for the D-backs, including the World Series crown in ’01.

The 12th manager in Mariners history, Melvin posted a 156-168 record in his two seasons at the helm, highlighted by a 93-69ledger during his rookie managerial campaign of 2003, shattering the team record for wins by a first-year Mariners manager, eclips-ing Lou Piniella’s ’93 mark of 82-80. Melvin’s 93 wins tied for the 15th-most by any rookie manager in ML history. In 2004, Bob’steam lost an uphill battle with the injury bug and finished the season with a 63-99 mark.

Prior to his first stint with Arizona, Melvin spent two seasons alongside Phil Garner, first with Milwaukee in 1999, then in Detroitfor the 2000 campaign. He began working as a scout for the Brewers in 1996 after taking a year off at the conclusion of his playingcareer in 1994. He served as roving instructor in ’97, then assistant to General Manager Sal Bando before becoming Garner’s benchcoach.

Bob caught for 10 seasons in the majors, making seven different stops. He signed his first contract with Detroit after being select-ed in the first round of the secondary phase of the 1981 January draft. He spent 4+ seasons in the minors before making his MLdebut on May 25, 1985. After serving as Lance Parrish’s back-up for the remainder of the season, he spent three years in SanFrancisco, sharing catching duties with Brenly. He joined Baltimore from 1989-91, and then wrapped up his playing career in KansasCity (’92), Boston (’93) and with the Yankees and Boston in ’94.

Bob is a 1979 graduate of Menlo-Atherton High School in Menlo Park, CA, lettering in baseball, basketball and golf. He attendedCanada College and the University of California at Berkeley.

The

Braves have won more games (1,510) in the 16-season span since 1991 than any other team in baseball. Cox has won 15 divisioncrowns, including 14 in Atlanta that have led to 5 pennants (1991, ’92, ’95, ’96 and ’99) and one World Championship (1995).

The 2005 season was one that many observers considered the finest of Cox’s long and storied career, as he led the injury-rid-dled Braves to their 14th consecutive division title. Despite extended injuries to such stars as Chipper Jones and Johnny Estrada,as well as lengthy absences by 3/5 of the starting rotation (Mike Hampton, Tim Hudson and John Thomson), Cox again worked hismagic, utilizing the services of 18 different rookies, 12 of whom made their Major League debut. Cox was voted the NL Managerof the Year by the BBWAA for the second consecutive season, and fourth overall, as well as being named Manager of the Year byThe Sporting News, Baseball America and Sports Weekly. In 2004 Cox led the Braves to a 96–66 record, winning the NL East by10 games. He recorded his 2,000 win on 9/29/04, the season’s final home game. Cox brought the city of Atlanta its first major pro-fessional sports world championship in 1995 when the Braves defeated the Cleveland Indians, 4 games to 2, in the World Series.The victory also marked the first time a franchise had won a World Series in 3 different cities. The Braves’ performance in 1991,when they went from worst-to-first and participated in one of the most dramatic World Series in history, earned Cox several post-season honors, including the AP Manager of the Year. He became the first manager to earn that honor in both leagues, having alsowon it while with the Blue Jays in 1985.

Cox managed the Braves from 1978 to ’81, compiling a 266–323 record and laying the groundwork for the club’s NL West titlein 1982. He began a 4-year tenure as Toronto’s manager in 1982, lifting the Blue Jays to within one game of a World Series berthin 1985, the year he was voted AL Manager of the Year by the BBWAA, AP and The Sporting News. Cox returned to the Braves asGeneral Manager in October of 1985 and oversaw a farm systerm which set the foundation for the team’s recent success. He addedthe field managing responsibilities on 6/22/90, then devoted all his time to those duties when the Braves named John SchuerholzGM in October 1990.

Cox spent 5 years in the Dodgers’ farm system before being selected by the Cubs in the 1964 Minor League Draft. He wasacquired by the Braves in 1966, played at AAA Richmond in ’67 before being traded to the NY Yankees, where he played 3B in 1968.Bad knees forced him to retire as a player at the age of 30. He was appointed manager of the Yankee’s Class A club in 1971, wonthe Eastern League pennant with West Haven in 1972 and the International League’s Governor’s Cup in 1976 with Syracuse. Heserved as the Yankees’ 1B coach in 1977.
