Okay, so, today I wanna talk about this guy, Larry Cox. I had some free time recently and stumbled upon some information about him online. It got me thinking, so I decided to dig a little deeper and share my findings with you all.

First off, I started with a simple search. The initial results were a bit all over the place, but I managed to piece together a basic timeline. Apparently, this Larry Cox was born on September 11, 1947, in a place called Bluffton, Ohio. I jotted that down and moved on.
Next, I tried to find out what he was known for. It seems like he was a baseball player, a catcher to be specific. Played in the Major Leagues from 1973 to 1982. Not bad, right? I made a note of his playing years and his position.
Then, things got a bit more interesting. There was this article dated April 19, 2015, that mentioned something about Larry Cox’s heroism. I read through it, and it turns out this happened when he was technically “off-duty.” Intrigued, I marked this article for a more thorough read later. The author is Micha.
- Born: September 11, 1947, Bluffton, Ohio
- Career: MLB Catcher, 1973-1982
- Heroism: Mentioned in an article from April 19, 2015, author is Micha, needs further reading
I also found a comment from someone who had spent time with Larry Cox’s mother. They mentioned a “COPS Parents’ Retreat.” Sounds heavy, I thought. I added this comment to my notes, figuring it might be related to the heroism mentioned earlier.
Then, I stumbled upon another piece describing Larry Cox as a “driven and highly accomplished humanitarian” who dedicated his life to “ending suffering.” It mentioned something about him doing this work since 1976. Interesting, I added this to my notes as well. There was also a mention of a “Larry Cox Jr.,” born on Christmas Day in 1967, maybe his son? Added.

Further Digging
With these initial findings, I decided to focus my search on this humanitarian angle. I figured there might be more to this Larry Cox guy than just baseball. I mean, “ending suffering” is a pretty big deal, right?
I spent a good chunk of time sifting through various articles and comments. Some were just fluff, but others painted a picture of a man who seemed to genuinely care about helping others. It was a bit of a mixed bag, but I tried to filter out the noise and focus on the facts.
At the end of the day, I did all my digging. I think I have a decent understanding of who Larry Cox was. A baseball player, sure, but also someone who seemingly did some good in the world, even if it’s not all clear-cut. And there might be a sad story linked to that “COPS Parents’ Retreat.”
So, that’s my little journey into the life of Larry Cox. It started with a simple search and ended up being a bit of a rabbit hole. But hey, that’s what makes these little explorations fun, right?
