"White Sox outfielder Andruw Jones knows 20-year-old Braves rookie Jason Heyward is in good hands because manager Bobby Cox treated him well at 19.

At the same time, Sox manager Ozzie Guillen never forgot the way Cox allowed him to pick his brain when his playing days were nearing an end in the late 1990s.

"He gave me an opportunity to not second-guess him, but ask what he had in mind on that play," Guillen said of Cox, who will visit U.S. Cellular Field for his final time as Atlanta's manager in a three-game series starting Tuesday night. "Not that many managers give you the freedom to ask questions. He knew I wanted to coach and manage.

"This man is an icon to me. He was so good for so many years for this game. You look at him. He's not Bobby. He's Mr. Cox.""
