Biography
A native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Cox attended Mustang High School and the University of Oklahoma. In 1987, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Harwich Mariners of the Cape Cod Baseball League, and returned to the league the following season when he was named a league all-star for the Wareham Gatemen.[1][2]
Cox was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the fifth round of the 1989 MLB Draft. After spending several seasons in the minor leagues, he signed with the Montreal Expos as a free agent in 1999. In his lone major league season, Cox posted six hits in 25 at-bats, with one home run and two RBIs over 15 games for Montreal.
Cox’s son, Jonah, is currently an outfielder in the San Francisco Giants organization.[3]
