Title: The many feats of Chipper Jones Post by: 2Stater on October 04, 2012, 08:15:02 AM Great article about Chipper.
http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/8427136/the-many-amazing-feats-chipper-jones Quote Teammate's take: He's been an MVP, an eight-time All-Star, a consistent run-production machine and a man who hit third or fourth in every one of the 92 postseason games he played in. But there has been something especially magical about Chipper Jones' final season. And everyone around him is savoring the magic act. "For me, the way he's playing, it's the best I've seen him play since I've been here -- and he's won a batting title since I've been here," said Jones' friend and protégé, Brian McCann. "But for some reason, this year it seems like he's come up with more big hits than ever. He's been in the middle of everything. … It's like he can see the finish line, and he's giving it all he's got, and it's great to see." I'd love to see the Braves go deep in the playoffs for Chipper's grand finale.

Title: Re: The many feats of Chipper Jones Post by: Jamos on October 04, 2012, 09:13:19 AM Chipper is in a superstar class of his own in modern day baseball for all of his accomplishments, he doesn't have an asterisk beside his name for using enchancements to earn this. ;)
Title: Re: The many feats of Chipper Jones Post by: ricky023 on October 04, 2012, 01:18:29 PM Chipper has been a special player for the Braves and fans. Even when it seemed he was having a bad game something would come out of it. It is with pride I say goodbye but if they go to the World Series and win against anybody except the Orioles it would be great to see. God Bless Chipper. Play On. RTR!
