Chipper Jones Will Retire After This Season

[casmith07]

One of the greatest 3rd Basemen of all time, and certainly of our time, will hang 'em up after trying to "go out with a bang" in his words.

Read numerous opinions today where Chipper is believed to be a consensus shoe in for the Hall of Fame. Whenever he's enshrined, I'll be in Cooperstown.

About time. Guy really would hack me off. Seems every time the Astros played against him he would always come up with the clutch hit to beat my Stros. Good riddance. :laugh2:

as a Braves fan I've been a big fan of Chipper ever since he stepped on the field.

Always been a nice guy in the times I've met him too. Sad to see him go.

Great guy, class act and as I mentioned clutch.

Didn't he just have his 80th birthday?

I could throw some salt on his career, but I won't. :muttley:

[Yeagermeister]

I thought he had already retired.

easily one of the best players ever...

He was one of my favorite all time players. Great career.

Tore his meniscus and will miss 3 weeks after a scope. Come on, Chip.
