Braves skipper Bobby Cox, he of the innumerable playoff disappointments, wife-beating and frequent ejections, was honored by U.S. Senators yesterday, though the celebrations were somewhat marred by the actions of what an WSBTV.com reporter calls “a Braves-hating baker.” (link courtesy Paul Lukas)

Sources told Channel 2 Action News reporter Scott MacFarlane that the official Senate bakery handled the task of baking the cake that was supposed to say, œThanks for 50 great years Bobby Cox.

Instead, someone misspelled Cox™s last name “ making it an offensive word.

Cox did not see the embarrassing misspelling. Staffers did try to smear it off, MacFarlane said, but once they realized they made it worse, they cut the piece out and threw it away.
