Pretty sure Cox, Maddux, and Glavine are all the same year. I wish it would have been Smoltz too (though I'm doubt he's a first ballot guy).

Pretty sure Cox falls under the 65+ manager/ump/exec rule which makes him eligible 6 months from retirement, so I think he could go in 2013.

Nevermind, looks like 2014 after all. The manager rules are strange, I think he's technically eligible by the 65+ rule, but post 1972 managers are only eligible for election in even years or something like that.
