Hall of Fame Braves manager Bobby Cox had regular discussions - often leading to his ejection - with umpires about the strike zone.

Ten years ago on Aug. 14, 2007, former Atlanta Braves general manager Bobby Cox set the Major League Baseball record for most ejections.

During a Tuesday night game at Turner Field, Cox earned his 132nd MLB ejection after San Francisco Giants pitcher Jack Taschner struck out Chipper Jones.

"It's nothing," Cox said postgame when asked about the ejection, according to ESPN. "It just means I've been around a long time, that's all."

Cox, who retired in 2010, still holds the MLB record for most ejections with 158.

The Braves went on to win the game 5-4 courtesy of four runs in the sixth inning and an RBI double by Jones in the ninth.
