During his first stint with the Braves, Francoeur worked under longtime manager Cox.
Cox, now 83, is a Braves Hall of Fame member and coached the Braves from 1978 to 1981 and again from 1990 to 2010. Looking back on his time with the Oklahoma native, Francoeur made an unbelievable confession.

“He said, ‘When today starts, you just run up to first base and rub your ankle a little bit like you hurt yourself?'”
“We’re going to Bradenton in two days,” so it’s clear they need three starters. “And he told me, ‘I don’t like the infielders in Bradenton, I don’t want the guys to get hurt, so if you go to Bradenton, I’ll let you play Tiger today.'”
