Amateur career
Fox attended Tarleton State University.
Professional career
The Cincinnati Reds drafted Fox in the 23rd round of the 1992 Major League Baseball Draft. He was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 1996 with a player to be named later (Ray King) for Mike Kelly.
Milwaukee Brewers
Fox was traded to the Brewers for Gerald Williams in 1997.
Fox's best season came in 2001, after not pitching in the majors at all the year before. Fox was voted the Brewers Most Valuable Pitcher.[1] Taking on a setup role, Fox threw a career-best 66Шаблон:Fraction innings, posting a 5-2 record and 1.89 ERA while striking out 80. This would be his last injury-free season in the majors.
Boston Red Sox, Florida Marlins
Fox would face rehab stints in 2002 with the Brewers and 2003 with the Red Sox, though he managed to stay healthy after signing with the Florida Marlins in August 2003, posting a 2.13 ERA in 21 appearances and adding nine more outings in the postseason to help them to a World Series title. He returned to the Marlins in 2004, but was ineffective in 12 April appearances before being shut down the rest of the season with ulnar neuritis. He was equally ineffective trying to return the following season with the Chicago Cubs, this time throwing just eight innings before reinjuring his throwing elbow on April 26, 2005. This injury would temporarily end his career.[2]
Chicago Cubs
On January 11, 2008, he signed a one-year minor league deal with the Chicago Cubs hoping to make a comeback.[2] After several rehab starts with the Cubs' A and AA affiliates, Fox was added to the 25-man major league roster on May 2.[3] After a three-year absence he made his major league comeback debut on May 2, 2008 against the St. Louis Cardinals. He went 1-2-3 in the bottom of the 10th inning but gave up a 2-run home run in the 11th inning to take the loss.
He would go on to make appearances on May 5 and May 11, throwing two scoreless innings before returning to the disabled list on May 20 with ulnar neuritis. Fox opted to rest rather than undergo another surgery on his elbow, but was ultimately transferred to the 60-day disabled list on September 2, ending his season.[4] In the offseason, he was re-signed by the Cubs to a minor league contract for Шаблон:Baseball year.
On May 9, 2009; in the bottom of the 8th inning in a game against the Milwaukee Brewers, Fox threw a wild pitch and, coming up in obvious pain, was removed from the game.Шаблон:Citation needed He retired as a result.
