The Braves have announced that they will induct Chipper Jones into their Hall of Fame and bestow upon him the ultimate accolade of retiring his number 10. Jones will be joining Dale Murphy (3), Bobby Cox (6), Warren Spahn (21), John Smoltz (29), Greg Maddux (31), Phil Niekro (35), Eddie Mathews (41), Hank Aaron (44) and Tom Glavine (47).

Chipper Jones retired with a career .303 Batting Average and 468 Home Runs over 19 seasons. We congratulate Chipper on this accomplishment and look forward to seeing the footage from the ceremony.
