Glenn Hubbard joins “Cellini & Dimino” to reflect on his career with the Atlanta Braves, sharing powerful stories about playing for and coaching under legendary manager Bobby Cox, as well as the impact of team owner Ted Turner on building “America’s Team” during the TBS superstation era.
Hubbard revisits his rookie season in 1978, the evolution of Bobby Cox’s managing style from intense competitor to calm, player-first leader, and what made the Braves clubhouse culture so unique during decades of sustained success. He also dives into the differences between playing for and coaching under Cox, the influence of Hall of Fame managers like Joe Torre and Tony La Russa, and the “hard nine” mentality that defined championship-caliber teams.
