Overrated chants for 18-year-old Druw Jones, who’s projected to go number one overall in the MLB Draft, just absolutely torching a ball to dead center. Has to be the best feeling in the world. (via

What a good year — jumping nearly 17% . I want to thank everyone who voted for me, I am honored. Also incredibly proud of my former teammate, Fred McGriff, and my former competitor, Scott Rolen… well earned, fellas! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
Hall of Fame John Smoltz says he knows "people around here are tired of hearing about the
#Braves
" ... but he thinks Andruw Jones and Fred McGriff should join the crew in Cooperstown.
Congratulations to the newest Hall of Famers Adrián Beltré, Todd Helton, and Joe Mauer! Thank you to all of the voters who selected me, fans who continue to pull for me.

Andruw Jones made playing center field an artform with the
#Braves
. This catch from 2002 is just one of his countless amazing plays, but the reaction by Phillies broadcaster Harry Kalas really sells it: "Goodnight. Wow."
That's a Hall of Fame stamp IMO.
Watching fans chant “overrated” at a player then IMMEDIATELY being silenced by an absolute tank will never get old. Druw Jones is a stud!
I’m sure dad must be proud

Great game tonight
@Braves
@ozzie

@camargo
kid is so humble to wait for a chance to play.
Happy Birthday to former
@Braves
outfielder, Andruw Jones!
He is 1 of only 4 players in MLB history to have 10+ Gold Gloves & 400+ HR.

Something to chew on for Hall of Fame voters:
Andruw Jones is one of six players in
#MLB
history with 10 Gold Gloves and 350+ HR. The other five were all voted into the BBHOF in their first year of eligibility: Mays, Schmidt, Griffey, Jr., Kaline, and Bench.
"I'm lovin' it, I feel like I'm a kid right now."
From playing in Wrigley to being in the outfield stands,
@andruwjones25
is living the dream with some great friends by his side.
@Kelly_Crull
catches up with the
@Braves
legend in the bleachers.
Behold, the Matt Olson HR Tracker!
Olson's 2023 HR total as compared to Andruw Jones' 2005 pace by
#Braves
game number for each.
Jones set the single-season franchise record with 51 HR in 2005.
Olson is 7 away from the record.
Matt Olson's 48th home run of the year moves him into second place all alone for most homers in a single season in
#Braves
history. He's now just three away from Andruw Jones' record of 51.

Since the owners have ratified the new CBA, let me just say...
Today would be a great day for the World Series Champion Atlanta

to sign Freddie Freeman.
