The Atlanta Braves have announced that they will retire Chipper Jones? number 10 and induct him into the Braves Hall of Fame on June 28. ?That?s a Friday night game against the Dbacks.
Number 10 will be the 10th number retired by the Braves, following?Hank Aaron (44), Eddie Mathews (41), Dale Murphy (3), Phil Niekro (35), Warren Spahn (21),?Greg Maddux (31), Tom Glavine (47), Bobby Cox (6) and John Smoltz (29). That?s eleven if you count Jackie Robinson. Twelve for the inevitable Jeff Francoeur ceremony.
Chipper is probably the Braves second best position player of all time, so that he?s getting this honor is no surprise. Indeed, the only surprising thing about this is that they didn?t schedule it for a game against the Mets, without whom this honor would still be possible, but nowhere near as fun. But if they did it for a Mets game I guess?Chipper?s man Marteeeeen couldn?t be there to see it in person.
