+Jackson Reel 23 too young to have seen Hammering Hank play. Though I do share a birthday with Hank Aaron. Either way, Chipper definitely will always be my favorite Brave.
cbcrog it may surprise you, but chipper and andruw were teammates for 11 years. Andruw had the higher WAR over that period. Chipper will always be the #2 of the Joneses to me
As a Braves Fan i miss him and not having him anymore does suck but he'll always be an Atlanta Braves guy forever thank you Chipper Jones for an amazing career
Chipper Jones could have easily stuck around another couple of seasons and broke 500 homeruns and 3,000 hits but he didn't have to. That's the kind of guy he was. Class act who put the franchise and his teammates above his own personal stats. Thank you CJ!
What a player! Next to watching the Giants as a kid, I grew up watching the Braves and watching their games on TBS and Chipper was one of my favorites. A professional and one of the best ever. A sure fire first ballot hall of farmer!
I’m a Mets fan ... Congrats Chipper you definitely deserve it .... Nothing but respect for you for playing the game the right way your a class act Congrats Chipper
Chipper was my favorite player and my idol I will never forget the great things he has done for the Atlanta Braves organization. This great man and player inspired me to play baseball and I thank him
I am a Braves fan. I live in Atlanta. I want to be a Brave when I grow up, I have looked up to him since I was about 5 when I got serious into baseball. He is my favorite player of all time. He made the team better. He is my favorite upcoming hall of famer. Even though the Braves are the best team in the MLB we would be that much better with Chipper. He had a great 20 years. He is definitely the best Brave of all time he is also the best third baseman of all time. We all miss you Chip.
growing up I remember Chipper because my mom was a Braves fan. Watching these highlights just brings back the memories. Dude was a beast on both sides! Glad he got into the HoF. He truly deserved it.
I still have dreams that this guy came out of retirement and still hit .300 like he was just knocking of the rust. I'm glad I got to see ALL OF IT! Put the uni back on him and have him in the dugout for future Braves!
We miss you in Braves Country Chipper!!! Even after 5 years and on being on the brink of entering the hall of fame, it's still hard without you!! Thank you again so much for being the best Braves ever!!
My favorite player of all time. Started watching him his first year when i was 8 and got to watch a H.O.F career. Thank you Chipper. I will be there when you get in the Hall
I'm a die hard Mets fan, and I have nothing but respect for Chipper Jones. Dude is a class act. At opening day last year at Citi Field. Fans booed Chipper being introduced, but then started to clap. Was pretty cool. Gonna be weird seeing Braves vs. Mets this year without Chipper (Larry) Jones over at 3B.
The 90s. there was a constant, Braves in the Playoffs was one of them, along with Maddux, Glavine and Smoltz and a True Gamer...CJ #10. The 2013 Braves team that clinched today, no doubt they had you in mind and hearts.
Hands down best Atlanta Brave player to play the game in my childhood n late teens . Kinda like Kobe in baseball. Same with Jeter. 20 yrs 1 organization.
I have been to a Braves game, Orioles game, Nationals game, and a Cleveland Indians game but the Atlanta Braves game was my first MLB game in person. Chipper Jones played great baseball and the Braves got the win over the Phillies. Go Braves and go Chipper Jones. As a fan I love the Atlanta Braves and Chipper Jones.
ok so, I may live in Pennsylvania I could be a Phillies or Pirates fan but im not I love the Braves. I have looked up to Chipper my whole life. Im 14. ima switch hitter and i play left field or 3rd base and my number is 10. thats how much chipper inspires me. Im gonna miss him! I love u Chippy, #BRAVES4LIFE braves wont b the same
He played the game right! My favorite Atlanta Braves player, by far! Arguably one of the best to ever play the game! Congratulations Chipper, on a great career!
I Cried When He Retired. Chipper's Rookie Year. His Debut. First Game Of The Year I Believe. The Very First Time I Saw Him On TBS. The Game Hadn't Even Started Yet. They Showed Him. Said A Little Something. " Braves Number One Pick. Chipper Jones Debut". I Saw Him. I Kinda Wagged My Finger Pointing At The TV. And Said "There Go My All Time Favorite Player Right There". I Just Knew Somehow, That Was My Guy... First Ballot Boi. Love You Chip. Youre The Man My Brother. ❤ 10
the braves arent the same without chipper. i've grown up with baseball living in florida seeing chipper jones during the summers of baseball. being a yankees fan, i admire great players and jones is one of the greats ive ever seen play the game.
Real men cry, Chipper you'll make us boys and girls cry when you walk away my friend. Chipper is the king of the south and Jeter is the king of the north. @ThanksChipper
Not only will Chipper be a first ballot hall of famer but next year Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine could possibly be the only two inducted in next years class.
As a kid born in small town DeQueen Arkansas in 88. I grew up watching him and the braves kill it. As an adult I fell away from baseball but I am gonna start watching again. Pure memories here
When you think of switch-hitting home run hitters, only three first names should ever come to mind: Mickey, Eddie, and Chipper. Simply the best, hands down.
When the very last home run that you hit is a walk off 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and you hit it off of Jonathan Papelbon, that definitely says something
I didn’t realize how great he was until he had already retired. I knew he was a helluva player but was overshadowed, to me anyway, by the steroid guys of his era. What a legend
Wow man....one of the things I'll regret in life is not reachin' the MLB in time to play at least one season with the great Chipper Jones..this sucks 'cause he's a one of a kind player (I'm 25 now smh). Hopefully my next lifetime is better than this one.
Probably the best Atlanta Brave I will see in my lifetime.
How old are you
+Jackson Reel 23 too young to have seen Hammering Hank play. Though I do share a birthday with Hank Aaron. Either way, Chipper definitely will always be my favorite Brave.
cbcrog it may surprise you, but chipper and andruw were teammates for 11 years. Andruw had the higher WAR over that period. Chipper will always be the #2 of the Joneses to me
Even Andruw would disagree with that I hate to break it to ya.
yep
My favorite baseball player of all time
Same here
My favorite player of all time, my childhood hero, as a Braves fan I miss you Chipper
As a Braves Fan i miss him and not having him anymore does suck but he'll always be an Atlanta Braves guy forever thank you Chipper Jones for an amazing career
would be insane if he was manager or something one day.
As a Met fan, Chipper was our daddy. And he punished us hard.
Fisttt
The Met Killer!! Go Braves
yes he was
Lol GO BRAVES
BeefPapa yes,yes he did.
Chipper Jones could have easily stuck around another couple of seasons and broke 500 homeruns and 3,000 hits but he didn't have to. That's the kind of guy he was. Class act who put the franchise and his teammates above his own personal stats. Thank you CJ!
one of the best of this era of baseball no doubt
It's amazing what he has done for the Braves organization, for the fans, and for the city of Atlanta.
Chippers swing from either side of the plate was so beautiful
So appreciative this guy never spent one day in a jersey other than a Braves one.
nikbnsn facts
I wonder if Chipper could be a Braves Manger Some Day. It would be a good move
LAZY CAT or hitting coach at least
I would like that. I'm in
What a player! Next to watching the Giants as a kid, I grew up watching the Braves and watching their games on TBS and Chipper was one of my favorites. A professional and one of the best ever. A sure fire first ballot hall of farmer!
chip was my hero my role model and my favorite baseball player and I miss him so much best and true brave
I’m a Mets fan ... Congrats Chipper you definitely deserve it .... Nothing but respect for you for playing the game the right way your a class act Congrats Chipper

In the course of the cheater era, (yes,on both sides,batting and pitching), this man did it right.
What a career. Also, R.I.P Tommy. I believe I saw him in the background.
growing up I remember Chipper because my mom was a Braves fan. Watching these highlights just brings back the memories. Dude was a beast on both sides! Glad he got into the HoF. He truly deserved it.
Chipper and Bobby really were the glue of not just the braves but sports in Atlanta during the 2000's
I still have dreams that this guy came out of retirement and still hit .300 like he was just knocking of the rust. I'm glad I got to see ALL OF IT! Put the uni back on him and have him in the dugout for future Braves!
Favorite baseball player of all time, greatest Braves of my lifetime
Most favorite player of my time.
From a true Braves fan, God bless this man and all that he has done for the game of baseball. The greatest 3rd baseman of all time IMO.
he is tje definition of a ball player and still my hero he made a impact on many ball players lives and on mine hes the greatest. miss u chipper jones
First-ballot Hall of Famer without question.
We miss you in Braves Country Chipper!!! Even after 5 years and on being on the brink of entering the hall of fame, it's still hard without you!! Thank you again so much for being the best Braves ever!!

I'm a Cardinals fan, but even when I was a kid playing ball, I wanted to be chipper Jones. He had a magic way about him
As a little boy, I really looked up to this guy. I had posters and T-shirts of him. I wanted to be like him. Love him so much 🥹❤
My favorite player ever!
Happy Birthday Chipper!
When you play the game the way he and Jeter have, you can't have anything but respect for the man.
The last 2 great, true, baseball players.
the braves arent the same without chipper. i've grown up with baseball living in florida seeing chipper jones during the summers of baseball. being a yankees fan, i admire great players and jones is one of the greats ive ever seen play the game.
They just run the world series without him.
chipper is such a good ol boy
Nobody rocked the turtle neck better than chipper jones! My all time favorite player and person. Nothing but respect.
The best there ever was. My Childhood hero! Gonna miss him.
My childhood hero. I miss chippa
As a lifelong yankee fan , it’s still sad to see my FAVORITE player of all time retiring
Mi ídolo mi Chiper Jones 🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
First ballot hof
One of the best to play the game. Have excessive amounts of respect for the guy. Good luck Chipper. :)
lovee chipper jones
I LIVE HIM
Real men cry, Chipper you'll make us boys and girls cry when you walk away my friend. Chipper is the king of the south and Jeter is the king of the north. @ThanksChipper
BEAST.
Best of player I know to this day,you deserved the gall of fame chipper
LEGEND
Not only will Chipper be a first ballot hall of famer but next year Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine could possibly be the only two inducted in next years class.
As a kid born in small town DeQueen Arkansas in 88. I grew up watching him and the braves kill it. As an adult I fell away from baseball but I am gonna start watching again. Pure memories here
awesome
He should of had way more all star's.
He was calling for the ball. It was the hit that gave him the RBI lead
The last member of the dynasty era gone and its been awhile since we've been in a world series folks. Sad when you think about it.
When you think of switch-hitting home run hitters, only three first names should ever come to mind: Mickey, Eddie, and Chipper. Simply the best, hands down.
There aren't too many class acts like him around anymore.
definatly
1:51 to have Hank Aaron say that about you. That must mean so much!
I'm not sure that any other baseball player loved the game as much as Chipper.
GO BRAVES
Chipper jones was a Solid third basemen for the braves
When the very last home run that you hit is a walk off 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th with 2 outs and you hit it off of Jonathan Papelbon, that definitely says something
I didn’t realize how great he was until he had already retired. I knew he was a helluva player but was overshadowed, to me anyway, by the steroid guys of his era. What a legend
For some reason he looks like he is related to Buster Posey. I'm a Giants fan and I hope Buster can take it this far just like Chipper.
Wow man....one of the things I'll regret in life is not reachin' the MLB in time to play at least one season with the great Chipper Jones..this sucks 'cause he's a one of a kind player (I'm 25 now smh). Hopefully my next lifetime is better than this one.
really thome, vizquel, jeter, gary and cal. are the greatest modern era hitters.
He stayed in the same shape his entire career.
Did anyone else Cry during his speech?
All of you who are saying that you will miss him because he is a great player better like Arod
Who was the best 3rd basemen of the 90s and 2000s ???
GOAT
The reason why baseball was my passion when I was a kid. The reason why I refused to wear any other number than 10 in little league.
wtf how could you dislike this?
most respectable player in MLB
(go mets)
Boo Mets
If my favorite team doesnt win the world series i have no problem having chipper win it
omar and ken Griffey jr. both started their rookie careers on the mariners. cool.
Chopper Janes is good ball base player.
I'm a Nats fan but i would rather see chipper win the world series and go out on top
Welcome to the HOF Chipper
What song is the background music?
Darude-Sandstorm
Much appreciated, yeah that makes a ton more sense haha
