This guy is my all time favorite. I've been watching baseball, particularly the Braves, for a long time and I have never seen anyone like Chipper Jones. To me, he is the Mickey Mantle of my lifetime. That is probably the greatest compliment I could ever give to a baseball player. Well done Chipper. I really miss you on the field. You're the best. ⚾️ Mike Pardue
He took the first step today in being a part-time hitting consultant. I think he is starting to get tired of being too separated from the game. I don't think we will get Maddux(Greg of course) to coach at the MLB level.
I wear my sock high in the summer with shorts on bc Im going for the middle aged overweight dork look. The socks really put the !!!! on the look! Dawg!
All I would remember was Chipper Jones and Andruw Jones in the lineup when I was younger. My mom was a major Braves fan and they were the names I'd always remember. She has an autographed jersey of Andruw framed on the wall in her office and a signed ball by Chipper. Chipper Jones was a beast on both sides! Also Chipper loves catching Marlins lol
For all his offensive prowess, his defense was always overlooked. He had a laser arm and great instincts, even well into his 30s. He wasn't quite Brooks Robinson, AKA The Human Vacuum Cleaner, in the field, but was miles better offensively and maybe the greatest hitting 3B of all time. Disagree? His .303 career BA is 40 points higher than Mike Schmidt's, his 1,623 career RBI are 170 more than fellow Braves legend Eddie Matthews, and he is also the only switch-hitter in MLB history with a .300 BA and 400 HR. End of discussion.
Great player, but the greatest switch hitter was Mantle and probably the most gifted ball player ever to play the game. A.421 on-base percentage, is the record for on base percentage by a switch hitter. If he played healthy, there is not telling what he could have accomplished.
His swing from both sides of the plate was just so smooth. He's my favorite player of all-time and the people even close to him on my list of favorites are Greg Maddux, Jim Thome and Tom Glavine.
Grew up a Yanks fan. Always hated Chipper. That said ... always respected him and will say, for the record, this man belongs in the HOF!!! Today, sir, I am your fan! God Bless you and every other Brave that you played with. Damn, that was hard to say, but well deserved.
My Mom was a big Chipper Jones fan , she had some fairly tame Chipmonks that would come up to her porch for sunflower seeds she called them all Chipper ,, Rip Mom
For all of us that realized it, Chipper was the template of the perfect baseball player. There will never be another that brought everything together as well as he did on the baseball field.
I'm glad I put his rookie card's in hard holder's 28 or so years ago. He backed up the hype with actions he didn't even speak about. That's a humble great athlete.
he really should be hitting coach for the Braves. He knew how to stand in the box against each pitcher in each situation at each count. The hitting savvy he could give to the young players on the Braves now could make them formidable to say the least.
Lord knows, I am an avid Braves fan. Have been for over 30 years and will be until I die. Times are tough going through this reconstruction of the team now. But I do know it will be as great again as it was during the 90's once again; it just takes time. I will never forget how teams came to Atlanta and were already defeated before they got off the plane. They knew they had to face Maddox, Smoltz , and Glavine. They knew they had to try and suppress the likes of Chipper Jones, Fred McGriff, David Justice, Ron Gant, Javier Lopez, and Brian McCann. It truly was the glory days, rivaling those that the Yankees experienced. Soon, again. Soon.
Hey, the Braves are doing good now! Second in the race between the NL and only 1.5 games behind the Phillies. Looking forward to where this takes us Plus, we still have Freddie Freeman, one hell of a First Baseman. And Ozzie Albies, Dansby Swanson, Markakis, and Inciarte. All of our players are good of course these guys are doing great. And if you haven’t heard Newcomb ( one of our pitchers ) was only 1 strike away from throwing a no-hitter and then they drove it into left. :( still sad.
@@doublepoet7852 Plus chased down the Mets and made them a footnote in franchise history, coming back from 10.5 games back and 8-4 head-to-head deficit in 2022. Buried the NL Champs of the Phillies in third place which came to roost. Our only playoff win was indeed memorable with the catches by Swanson and Riley in Game 2.
I'm glad Chipper was inducted into the Hall of Fame, he definitely deserves it. He was my favorite player growing up and yet I'm a Boston Red Sox fan all my life since I live in Massachusetts but there was something about Chipper. Maybe it was because I played 3rd base and so did he.
Most under-rated 3b and switch hitter ever. Yes, he is recognized as a great player but this recognition always seemed a bit less than what it should be. The man could hit almost anything a pitcher threw at him, even if it was a foot off the plate.
this guy was my all time favorite baseball player. I watched him from the age of 3-19 when he retired. He played for the same team the braves whom I love. I am still upset over him retiring but I know everyone has to retire at some point. Why couldnt I see him for one more year
Glad that Chipper Jones got his second ring with us being the batting assistant coach for the 2021 Braves squad. There won't be another Chipper Jones especially in the Braves organization. They don't make them that loyal anymore.
Watching these highlights made me remember Vinny Castilla and Andres Galaraga (sp?). Really miss watching Chipper play. The Braves just arent the same.
Yo! No Lie. The Very First Time I Seen This Guy. His MLB Debut. The Game Hadn't Even Started Yet. TBS. They Showed Him And Talked About Him. I Had Litterally Just Heard Of Him 5 Seconds Sooner. I Wagged My Finger At The T.V. And Said " There Goes My All Time Favorite Player Right There". I Just Knew Somehow. And I Was Right. CHIPPER'S My Guy. BEST EVER BABY. ⚾ Love You CHIP.
he had one of the most intimidating batting stances in all of baseball and one of the most clutch hitters. growing up watching him and guys like pedro, tino martinez. good old days.
Moved to Ga in "97" and was at Turner field a week later. Asked my buddy, who's the cat in the socks? I found out. That was The Chipper. Face of the Braves. hahahahaha Godspeed Bro!
Chipper Jones Derek Jeter Jim Thome and Ken Griffey Jr. My favorite baseball players of all time..They were all class acts in their own respects and played the game how it was supposed to be played
I agree 100% that Chipper is the best hitting 3B ever. Schmidt was a gifted player and created a lot of runs, yeah, but I don't think you can take a good look at the numbers and argue that he was more prolific at the plate than Chipper. Schmidt was a truly great player though and should still be considered the best 3B to ever play, I think.
I’m a die hard Phillies fan and yet I always had massive respect for this guy, It was terrifying watching him come to the plate against the Phillies I feel like he always killed us.
Chipper PRACTICED diving after ground balls and line drives. He PRACTICED the bare hand pickup and throw to first. That’s why he was still able to do it in his 19th season.
there are those few players that no matter what team you’re a fan of there’s always those players that you will enjoy just watching them play the game chipper is one of em aside from harpers personality dudes a good ball player and you got bellinger jeter bonds sosa mcguire plenty more you can hate the team or the player but you can’t hate how good they are it’s like being a bama fan but being amazed by bo jackson or cam newton it’s just like damn he’s good
I am a life long Braves fan, and Chipper is my favorite player of all time. That being said, I think he has the second best looking swing/batting stance right behind Mr. Ken Griffey Jr. A close 3rd would be Cody Bellinger. #ChopOn
As a Mets Fan I Always loved watching Chipper play. To me he is prob the best third basemen to ever play the game. The one thing I didn't like is how he always seem to just DESTROY the Mets. This Man was No joke when he played against us 😂. He never gave My Mets a Brake Lol.
Lol. I'm a big Braves fan, but I couldn't agree more. The only difference is, I loved watching him beat the Mets, lol. Hey, the Mets have a great team now, but ours needs some work, lol. Still love my Braves, though!
So smooth and effective, even into late 30s when his body was breaking down. Always a little thrill to have him step up to the plate. I know the NL East doesn't miss him, but I sure do miss watching those crushed HR balls, or the ones that looked like he barely got anything on it but ended up leaving the yard.
Had #10 on my back till my last game of my senior year And even in the Connie Mack World Series. If you know what that is, much love. my hometown is where the Connie Mack World Series takes place. many pro players played in this Series.
Been a Braves fan my whole life. (I’m 34) grew up watching chipper and man I loved watching him swing the bat. With that said, late 90’s chip deft was on the sauce lol. Jokers jersey got awfully tight those years. Not a knock, just a funny observation.
I love you chipper Jones you are my favorite baseball player please I need your shirt and shoes and baseball and bat I love you chipper Jones Go Atlanta Braves
Amazing how good Chipper was at getting the barrel of the bat on the ball. A lot of these HRs look like he just stuck the bat out there and the ball just carried lol
20 minutes of highlights and not even one play of him in left field? Smh, he was a good left fielder the few years he played there... My favorite player all time and this is coming from a die heard dodger fan!

Various records apply to National League as well. Despite never winning a gold glove, he had a good throwing arm and was a highly respected defensive player for most of his career. Chipper Jones is without a doubt one of the best third basemen of all time. His dugout presence and clutch hitting made him one of the most valuable players ever to have on a team.
Chipper Jones is probably the COOLEST player in MLB history. So calm, cool, and collected. So smooth. So consistent. Such a beast.
Lol I always said he reminds me of your best friend's, cooler older brother😎
Yeah, him and Ken Griffen jr.
Best 3rd baseman of all time; all-star performer, all-star attitude.
Yeah, he is Welsh! What’s going on? He is battling both handed, could he do that?
Freddie Freeman is a close second
This guy is my all time favorite. I've been watching baseball, particularly the Braves, for a long time and I have never seen anyone like Chipper Jones. To me, he is the Mickey Mantle of my lifetime. That is probably the greatest compliment I could ever give to a baseball player. Well done Chipper. I really miss you on the field. You're the best. ⚾️ Mike Pardue
He's still my all time favorite Brave.
Switch hitter just like Mantle
That man terrorized pitchers for almost two decades. Can't wait till he starts managing the Braves.
My Mets especially lol
@@Dre973Andre R.I.P Mets lol 😆
@@ozzmania08 lol happy holidays to you and your family
He took the first step today in being a part-time hitting consultant. I think he is starting to get tired of being too separated from the game. I don't think we will get Maddux(Greg of course) to coach at the MLB level.
I wore my socks high all through little league because of Chipper. One of my all-time favorite players
I wear my sock high in the summer with shorts on bc Im going for the middle aged overweight dork look. The socks really put the !!!! on the look! Dawg!
Me too bro me too

Beltre?
Don't disrespect the great one by comparing Beltre to him, Beltre is great but doesn't hold a candle to chipper.
Great player, but the greatest switch hitter was Mantle and probably the most gifted ball player ever to play the game. A.421 on-base percentage, is the record for on base percentage by a switch hitter. If he played healthy, there is not telling what he could have accomplished.
Totally agree.
@@scottgh8285 He was talking about 3rd basemen
Is it just me or do his home runs look so effortless? My favorite player of all time!!!
Very similar to Ken Griffey Jr., both beyond fantastic players.
Juiced baseballs
@@alfredomendoza6246Are you saying Jones juiced?
My favorite player of all time in any sport.
He was the best baseball player.
Definitely the best switch hitter of all time, in my opinion. His fielding skills just added to that.
His swing from both sides of the plate was just so smooth. He's my favorite player of all-time and the people even close to him on my list of favorites are Greg Maddux, Jim Thome and Tom Glavine.
Chipper's swing was soooooo sweet. Effortless with complete effort.
His father was a huge fan of Mickey Mantle which also was a switch hitter and one of greatest at that.
Grew up a Yanks fan. Always hated Chipper. That said ... always respected him and will say, for the record, this man belongs in the HOF!!! Today, sir, I am your fan! God Bless you and every other Brave that you played with. Damn, that was hard to say, but well deserved.
One of the greatest 3rd Basemen of all time and one of the Braves Legend
Man I miss watching him play

has to be the greatest crack of the bat ever
He was the best player I've ever seen I'll always miss watching him play. What a swing
Chipper's first homer at Shea.... It sounded like he hit that ball twice.
My fav player ever grew up watching him on tbs. its a real shame injuries late in his career kept him from 500 hrs
Its all about the stance! Best looking stance ever.
he really should be hitting coach for the Braves. He knew how to stand in the box against each pitcher in each situation at each count. The hitting savvy he could give to the young players on the Braves now could make them formidable to say the least.
Tawnku Imi-Uru I thought he was already the hitting coach.. Lol
Tawnku Imi-Uru check out this link on chipper ... www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/14390441/chipper-jones-returning-atlanta-braves-special-assistant
He had a Sharpe stance.
This guy is now in the hall of fame. What a hell of a ball player!

They became Oprah... You get a star! You get a star! Everyone gets a star!
The Met Killer's first homer was against the Mets...As a Braves fan I'm shocked I didn't remember that
One of my all-time favorite players. Such a class-act.
Mmmm yes cheating on your wife with a hooters waitress just oozes class
thank you so much he was my favorite player I could sit here for hours and just watch this over and over :)
Always loved watching him play for my favorite team the Atlanta Braves
thanks for sharing love my braves
He was my sons favorite player he wore 10 in his honor, a great role model
Hats off to AJ Burnett for giving Chipper a BP fastball for his final AB, that was classy
As a Mets fan in the past, he was one of the opponents I hate the most but now I respect him a lot as a great baseball player..
One of the best batters of all time
I love baseball very much
He reminds me of the MLB's version of Brett Favre
No iron Man Cal ripken was

Must love hearing Skip Carey calling a Chipper Jones homerun
Lefty Chipper to me top 10 prettiest swing ever.
8:59 mark! Man that reaction! Priceless!

Mi gran idolo chipper jones siempre grande el mejor tercera basé de todos los tiempos si no fuera por sus leciones. GRANDE CHIPPER
macuarrin tienes idolos??? jajaja asi con tu cara pence que tus idolos eran de piedra jajajajajajajjaja como pakal jajajajjaja
The Chipper -Shredder owned the Mets like no one before or since.
Was at one point hitting .400 the first 60 games in 2008.
I miss the red uniforms on sundays
he is or was my dads favorite baseball player
love it
dude perfected his home run trot in Little League.
Remember him homering from both sides the last day of the season in a game they needed to win.
is that 95 nlds against Colorado?
Who knew James Hettfield could sing and play baseball at the same time.
