BASEBALL / DAILY REPORT : WORLD SERIES
Atlanta Manager Bobby Cox, managing his third World Series in five years, on what it’s like going to the Series for the first time: “The fans don’t get mad at you if you don’t win the first time you go. You have a big parade, they tell you that you did OK. Next year if you go and don’t win, they boo.”

Brave third baseman Chipper Jones on how he got his name: “My real name is Larry Wayne Jones Jr. People say I look a lot like my dad--you know, a chip off the old block. It’s kind of corny.”
