Atlanta Braves home jersey worn by Hall of Fame manager Bobby Cox during the 1992 World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The white knit jersey is lettered "Braves" across the front, below which is the team's tomahawk logo. On the reverse are the number "6" and the name "COX." All letters and numerals are appliquéd in red on navy tackle twill with the exception of the name on the reverse, which is appliquéd in navy tackle twill. A 1992 World Series patch adorns the left sleeve. Located on the left front tail are a "Wilson" label and the year, "92," which is stitched in black on a white strip tag. Located directly below the Wilson label is a flag tag denoting the size, "46." Cox has signed the jersey in blue marker on the front, adding "#6" directly below his signature.

He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2014. Graded A5 by MEARS (no post-1997 jersey can achieve a higher grade than A5 without additional provenance). Full LOA from MEARS (for the jersey only).
