Chipper Jones

I wonder if I will ever appreciate Chipper Jones and his career as much as I should.
I just never thought he lived up to the Griffey, Arod type hype he had.

Watching him getting hurt is a sad way to go out.

Great Career. 307 avg. 436 HR. 1 MVP, 1 Batting Title.

I would not put him in the HOF on the first ballot, but I do think he is a HOF'er. His OB% is over .400, his slugging is over .520, nearly 500 doubles, over 400 homers, OPS .940, 1 MVP, 1 batting title, 2 silver sluggers. He is in the discussion of top offensive 3rd basemen in history. Hard to compare anyone to Griffey, but you certainly can't say Chipper didn't live up to the draft pick!
