Thanks For 50 Great Years, Bobby Cocks!

Is it an inside joke? 

Or just maybe the catering company knows more about Bobby than we do.

After 50 years in baseball, Atlanta Braves manager, Bobby Cox, has announced that this will be his final year.

To honor the manager’s 50 years in baseball, Senators Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) and Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) hosted a ceremony.  Of course when you’re having a celebration, you order a cake.

When taking the order, the cake company didn’t ask how to spell Bobby’s last name, and the order-placer didn’t tell either.

The cake makers then took matters into their own hands.

I don’t know about you, but I have met a handful of people with last name of Cox.  Not a single one of them spells it ‘Cocks’.  Not a one.

Suspicion tells me that the cake decorator is a Mets fan.

So what did they do?

“The catering company had delivered the cake and we immediately realized his last name was spelled incorrectly.” said Sheridan Watson, Isakson’s spokesperson,

“The only people who saw it were me, the scheduler and unfortunately some media members who had arrived early and took pictures. We immediately started cutting the cake.”

Check out their handiwork below.
