The INSANE Prime of Chipper Jones
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Chipper Jones is one of the best switch hitters in baseball history. Only Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray have more career home runs! Chipper was a hitting machine from both sides of the plate, and was a major part of the Atlanta Braves dynasty in the 1990s. His ability to come up big in clutch moments was present from Opening Day into the postseason. Chipper had well documented success against Randy Johnson, arguably the greatest pitcher of his generation. From a small town kid to one of baseball’s all time greats, Chipper Jones’ legacy transcends the era he played in.

All time favorite player for me when I was growing up. Absolutely love how Austin Riley has been able to step into that position and honor Chippers legacy. Braves are building a dynasty right now!!
Title contenders for the next ten years if healthy
ABSOLUTELY
Freedie to me was the next chipper. But now Austin 316 Riley has definitely gave life back to 3rd base
It’s already built brother
@@Leonardo2003crazy how the cycle happened the same as the 90s team. Braves baseball is baseball
Chipper never struck out over 100 times in a season. Thats incredibly rare for a slugger in the modern era.
The hitting .300 from both sides is an insane statistic too... Especially in his era with all the big time pitchers that were around.
He did strike out 99 times in a season tho
Growing up a baseball fan in Atlanta in the 90's, Chipper was always my favorite player. I don't think a lot of people really appreciate just how amazing a player he was. Thanks for the video!
Of course, thank you for watching! And you’re right, he’s not talked about enough! Chipper’s career was fascinating to learn about, and I’m happy to hear you enjoyed the video.
He really is a mlb the show legend
Just found you, love your videos. I get to learn a lot about MLB history this way.
As a Phillies fan, it was rough whenever Chipper Jones was on a hot streak - but i will always admire how talented he was - even with him playing for the rival ATL Braves.
Larry Wayne Jones Jr. is one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game. Being in the stands hearing crazy train with the game on the line, you knew he was gonna come thru for the team. Thank you for the greatest memories of my life watching you become an Atlanta Braves Icon. There will never be another player like him. He’s the best there is, was, and ever will be. I tip my cap to you Chipper your a legend to Braves fans.
To me, if you're a baseball player who, for your career you hit .300/.400/.500, you really are the elite of elite. I grew up watching Chipper, watching this video reminded me how truly insanely great he was.
Also- I forgot he was inducted with Vlad, Thome, Hoff etc... what a class!!
Preach! What a career achievement that is, and it’s a very short list.
Only one of seven players to have that career slash line in 10,000 plate appearances, with Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Stan Musial, Tris Speaker, Mel Ott, and Frank Thomas. Not a bad list.
I still remember as a young Braves fan opening up a pack of Topps baseball cards and getting his rookie card as my very first card. I decided at that moment to follow his career, and I never regretted it.
My favorite baseball player of all time, my entire life I can remember watching him on TBS 4-5 days a week. He was the reason I wore my socks high when I played baseball...He was always just so consistent and clutch. Rafael Furcal, Marcus Giles, Chipper Jones, Gary Sheffield, Andruw Jones, Julio Franco, Javy Lopez, Vinny Castilla and then the pitcher, that was my favorite lineup in the history of sports...like 2002, 2003 seasons.....Every game was just a treat to watch and I will always remember with fond memories.
I feel like a lot of fans sleep on Chipper Jones' greatness. I got to meet him at a luncheon for the Greg Maddux Night @ Turner Field. He was super cool to everyone that wanted to take a picture with him. I was also at his last game, the infamous "Infield Fly Rule" game in the postseason against the Cards. I wasn't a part of throwing garbage on the field, which was SURREAL. But in his last ever AB.. he recorded an infield single, in the same way he scored his first hit in 1993. Thanks for the video!!!
POUR LARRY A CROWN!
I actually did throw something on the field that game lol totally forgot about that. What a shit show.
I was going to but I couldnt find anything to throw
Chipper as my favorite Braves of all time. The reason why I played baseball loved how he didn’t always just try to crush the ball every at bat.. just get on base!!
I always appreciate how you incorporated who these people were off the field as well. That stuff gets easily overlooked in a lot of player's histories.
I'm glad to hear you enjoy that aspect of these videos! Ever since I began this series I've discovered that to know the player you must know the person as well. The challenges each player goes through shapes them into who they become. It definitely impacts their career!
Chipper is forever my favorite ball player. Dude was an absolute machine.
For me he's top-5 among the greatest Braves of all-time and definitely the best one in his era.
The best imo. Took less money to better the team to compete for the WS. That’s a true Brave.
@@Trey_Alexanderhank? I say 2nd
@@Trey_Alexander Now What Chipper Did There Was Being Unselfish
For a guy in Vinny Castilla who played horrendously bad, although I remember him being a better defender, Chipper was average but he could make nice plays for sure.
@@hahshsdh4646464 You Don't Disrespect Vinny Castilla Like That Dawg
Hey man,I bet even retired MLB players WILL ACTUALLY get to watching your videos I predict,and your collection will be the most widely recognized and referenced.Hold on,yo effort is about to be rewarded.Just keep 'em coming.
Hey that means a lot to hear, thank you for the kind words!
Less than 10 seconds after hitting play on this video I hit a 3-run home run with Chipper in MLB The Show. No joke.
You summoned a Chipper bomb by watching a video about him! 😯
Insane prime of Roy Halladay please!!! Love the videos, great mix of education and entertainment.
One of my absolute if not favorite ball players growing up! Ol Chip!
Great video, Chipper Jones, the biggest Mets killer and my All-time favorite Brave.
My son started playing baseball in the late 80s. As a kid myself, I loved the game. I gravitated to the Braves as the team I liked. Talking with my dad, I mentioned how I really liked them. He then found an old picture of me when I played ball wearing a Braves uniform. Guess that's where it all began.
They were an easy team to like in the 90s. I have many good memories of my son playing ball and also watching the Braves.
That's really cool, thank you for sharing! It's always interesting to hear different origin stories of why we all like and root for the teams we do. For some it's location, some it's family oriented, and others you play for the team first!
Chipper is my all time favorite Braves player. I miss hearing Crazy Train at Braves games it’s been what 10 seasons now that he’s been retired.
The best....NO DRAMA!!! Still collecting all his cards.
He is definitely one of my favorite baseball players ever loved watching him play as a kid growing up in Georgia Go Braves
Great video. I always enjoyed watching Chipper play. Amazing that the Braves have had two of the greatest, most productive third baseman ever-Chipper Jones and Eddie Mathews-yet they’re often overlooked, even by Braves fans.
and now, they have another 3B great in the making, Sir Austin Riley! :D
Also, let's not forget Jimmy Collins, a HOFer for the 1890s Boston Beaneaters, who dominated their era.
@@big8dog887 yep. Collins was the OG all-time great third baseman.
@@briansolo Riley has more potential than people realize imho. 👍
There is not a Braves fan that overlooks Chipper Jones.
My favorite player ever. Growing up, we were in a different state nearly every year, but would catch Braves games wherever we were, including a handful of trips to ATL to see them at Turner Field. Still a huge Braves fan (and eventually made my way to ATL for a bit as an adult), but the 90s/00s Braves will always hold a special place in my heart.
That's awesome, thank you for sharing! Chipper and the '90s Braves have been fascinating to learn more about since starting my channel. They had an unbelievable team!
Great video. Chipper is a legend and one of if not my all time favorite player.
Second video of me asking for Johnny Bench
😂 So. I’m sure people have asked multiple times for certain players. What makes you think he should just do what you say? 😂
Personally I just love Johnny bench and I don’t really think that it could become a reality I just thought it was worth a shot
dude's thinking he is special
Jeez i’m sorry I just wanted to see a video about Johnny bench it’s not like it’s a special request or anything and I didn’t know that asking to see a video just like a bunch of other people is something bad so i’m sorry if I’m coming of as a brat or anything and I’m sorry yet again and I hope that you enjoy the rest of these fun historic level video’s
GOAT at his position.
Favorite player of all time.
It's baffling to me how you only have 14.7k subs!
ATL area native Braves fans will almost all have him as their favorite player, myself included. The epitome of consistency and class and an amazing teammates who would go above and beyond for the people he played with.
Thanks Man! Was so happy to see this!
Great video as always Cam!
Thank you Retro! 🙌🏼
My great grandma LOVED Chipper Jones.
Loved watching chipper jones an amazing ball player. If he could have stayed health he would have had 500 plus hrs. One thing that always amazed me was how fast he came back from injuries.
Thanks for making this video, brought back so many great memories!! Chipper’s my all time favorite player & why I rode the pine wearing #10 in every sport throughout high school 😁 He’s #1 person/athlete I want/hope to meet someday, even considered naming my son Chipper
Of course! Thank you for watching, it means a lot to receive comments like this. My #1 goal with these videos is to relive the careers of all time greats, and to do so with others who grew up watching them and those who may be learning about them for the first time! That’s amazing the impact Chipper’s had on you over the years. He’s an incredible ballplayer who deserves the spotlight!
I loved watching Chipper Jones growing up as my grandfather was a Braves fan. Even though I'm from Texas, I always ended up rooting for the Braves against the Astros in those playoff series. I idolized Chipper and played 3rd from litttle league all the way to jv (coach moved me to center for varsity because i was the fastest guy on the team and could cover ground). Not only was Chipper a good ballplayer, but he is a good man and role model.
As a life long Marlins fan..... a tip of the cap to one of the all time greats. Thanks for the memories.
My favorite player ever! Thank you!
if you were a kid growing up in south MS playing baseball in the 90s, Chipper Jones WAS your favorite player. period. end of story. he was everyone's favorite player. the Braves are the closest team to us, even though they're 8 hours away. hell, Chipper is still my favorite player.
We need a video of Johnny bench what a legend
As a yankees fan I would love to see a video on mickey mantle or Reggie Jackson or even Roger Maris
Taught myself to be a switch hitter like Chipper when I started playing baseball (well, teeball at that point since I was 5). Went to the Hall of Fame last summer while visiting family and got pictures with the plaque of my 2 favorites, Chipper and Griffey.
As a Braves fan who grew up watching and emulating Chipper, this was an enjoyable video. I had almost blocked the whole Vinny Castilla experiment out of my mind, but this video brought it back. Would love to see a video on Dave Parker, a guy similar to Dale Murphy or Don Mattingly in the Hall of Fame discussion.
As a lifelong Braves fan we’ve been spoiled with great talent…BUT when it comes to “Braves guys” we are incredibly lucky to have had guys like Chipper, Murphy and Smotlz rep the tomahawk.
I loved watching Chipper Jones, probably my favorite Braves player from that era.
Great video. Well done research. Props my friend!
Thank you for the kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed the video 🙌🏼
He’s so underrated. I was shocked when I saw all of the seasons w an ops over 1. I always assumed he was more of an .850 typa player
being born in the mid 90's to parents who were braves ushers, chipper is my all time favorite player
I can't wait to watch this!
Very rare for a switch hitter to be this good on both sides and have that much power. Loved his game
Indeed! I was genuinely surprised to learn he’s the only player to hit .300 from both sides during a career with the longevity such as Chipper, Murray, and Mantle.
He was by far my favorite Atlanta Braves! My playing days were long over when he came along, but when I had heard about him coming up in '95 after the injury, I knew we had something special!
Now, we have MVP caliber Ronald Acuña, Jr. I hope he continues his current success, and remains a Brave his entire career, too!
#chopon
I am always going to be fascinated by Nolan Ryan's Career and boy do you have your work put in if you decide to do him.
And the fact he never won a Cy Young. WTF!
@@rwwilson21 Wins and losses mattered back then. I'm amazed he even got to 300 wins considering how many bad teams he played for.
He was my idol growing up. I watched hundreds of Braves games on TBS in my formative years
My brotha, excellent video. I’m subscribing
Thank you! Welcome to the channel 😎
P.S. There may or may not be another Brave getting a video very soon...👀
I dont think there was a kid in SC or Georgia while I was growing up that didnt idolize Chipper Jones. Guy is a class act.
Chip was the face of the 90s for me as kid loved the Larry chants vs Mets that’s how u just knew he was a all timer
Great video! As a stat geek, I definitely appreciate your outlining impressive numbers, and standout seasons. Could you do Todd Helton next, please
Thank you! I love all the numbers so it’s a must to include them when telling the story of a player’s career. Helton is severely underrated he’d make a great video!
He’s from my hometown, a lot of the people around here are very familiar with him and my dad got to meet him and a few times and get some signed baseballs.
Great video. Love Chipper. All time favorite. Go Braves
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, Chipper was a great player to learn more about.
@@Cam23 i grew up with him as my idol. And i learned a couple stats from your video. Good work. I see your channel is more videos like this u got this dude as a sub 🤙
One of the greatest ever!
The Met Killer!!! I grew up ot too far from his hometown in Central Florida. Pure talent! Because of him (and at the time, no Florida MLS teams, and thank you TBS), I am a Braves fan. No juice, just talent.
FINALLY THIS IS WHO IVE BEEN ASKING FOR
One of the greatest and one of my favorite players would love to meet him in person.
Excellent video my friend !!! I grew up in Orlando florida in the 1970 so the closest MLB baseball team to me was the Atlanta Braves and watched Hank Aaron hit his breaking of Babe Ruths Home Run Record as a young kid which led me to start playing baseball for just over 10 straight years from T-ball through HS .was a huge Braves fan all through the 90s going to ball games at both Fulton County Stadium and Turner Field. never missed a daily televised TBS game if all possible .the Jones boys duo of Chipper and Andrew were my favorite players in the late 90s and Early 2000s .outside of the New York Yankees .the 1990s MLB Braves dynasty was a once in a life time thing and hasn't been matched ever since .not even close And in my Opinion had the Best Pitching Staff and Rotation of all time with Avery .Smoltz .Glavine and Maddox .
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed! You’re right, the Braves of the ‘90 were incredibly special. 3 Hall of Famers in a single rotation might never happen again.
@@Cam23 1 world series win throughout the 90s while dominating the NL east for the whole decade is not a dynasty
@@joel8692 not everyone will agree with myself calling the Braves a dynasty but they dominated the National League for a decade 🤷🏻♂ the definition of dynasty is subjective and I choose to acknowledge them as such.
He was an absolute stud, I know its early but the Riley @ 3rd has the all making of Chipper 2.0, we'll see how that plays out.
Chipper Jones was a great role model and a astonishing ball player
You're doing an awesome job!!!🎉 Keep up the great content!
Mark Grace would be a great video.. he is a really good person
Thank you!
As a KC fan/native, I'd love to see a George Brett mini Doc!
I'd love to understand what happened to Derrek Lee.
Todd Helton video!! Underrated BEAST!
Chipper is my favorite player of all time, I'm a grown man and still have a Chipper Jones plaque on my wall that I've had since I was a little kid. So I mean no insult when I say that "as an 8th grader he was good enough to play on the varsity at Taylor HS" probably doesn't mean as much as you think. Pierson Taylor HS is a tiny little school in the boondocks. I would know, I live right down the street, my girlfriend went there and I went to a nearby school that played against them.
I didn’t know 1995 was chipper Jones first year or I forgot for some reason I thought he was on the Braves teams in the early 90s but those early 90s to mid 90s Atlanta Braves teams were amazing and should’ve won more than one World Series I used to follow the Braves as a kid in New England because they would be on TBS so I would watch the Red Sox games and if the Red Sox weren’t on I would watch the Braves or if the Braves were on after the Red Sox or before the Red Sox I would watch them and those early 90s Braves teams were amazing with Tommy Glavine and John Smoltz
Dude wasn't an All-Star in 99', but won MVP. Wild stat.
For real!
Great video
Thank you!
Make a video on how underrated Graig Nettles is in the Top 3rd basemen ever
Not a Braves fan, but always respected Chipper's game.
Favorite player of all time…his consistency from both sides of the plate was insane. Sure he wasn’t known for his defense, but I feel like that’s because his bat was so hot.
I feel like players today have lost the purpose of the walk up song. It's not about having whatever is popular at the moment, it's not about making some sort of statement. It's about making your opponent and their fans shake in fear knowing you're coming up. Chipper got that and every time you heard that intro you knew!
Jones was a beast.
Curious your thoughts on the incredibly good Gary Sheffield. Would love to see a video on him and that unorthodox swing.
My favorite player of all time.
If you're doing switch hitters, gotta give us an Eddie Murray video. I'd also like to see Ryne Sandberg, Rickey Henderson or Canseco.
Make a video on Ted Williams plz
19:11 thats a picture of a man who wonders how he got into the HOF with a 105 career ERA+, a .390 career ERA and only 43 bWAR in 549 career starts spanning 18 years as a pitcher… I’m still wondering the same thing Jack…
Another great video. Please do Carlos Delgado!
Everytime i have ever played Madden 2011, i thought of Chipper!
That was his walk up song and he did work with it. The only other baseball player i heard with that song was Jay Buhner...While I respect BONES, he aint CHIPPER!!!!
Thanks for everything, 10!!!
Do Greg Maddux. Absolutely insane run in the early 90s and a ton of anecdotes
As a braves fan chipper Jones is a legend
My girlfriend/fiancée had a mad crush on chipper from 99-02. Which was cool with me cuz she loved watching Braves in college. Many times while baked. Fun stuff
Boom!! I love it!!
Thanks for the suggestion my dude. I loved making this video!
The glory days!
9:35 chipper has said in a few interviews he picked up on Randy tipping the splitter so he knew when he was or wasn’t throwing that pitch. Or that he tipped all of them at some point
My favorite player Jim Thome
Chipper was one of my favorite players growing up along with vlad
My teacher play baseball with chipper in highschool at bolles which he played 2nd at the time then switched to short after he got drafted
My favorite ball player ever. Also wore my favorite number.
Great player Mr.Jones
Dope! What about Carlos Delgado or José Reyes?
❤❤❤ about time a this was done about Chipper damn was he so good every day after school I would turn on tbs and chipper andruw greg smoltz millwood man they were all nasty klesko
Mcgriff
Gant, Grissom, Justice, Lemke, Javier Lopez etc. . The Braves on TBS was about all that would bring me home in the summer
Great video he was a beast. Another dude I think would be a great video, Andre “The Hawk” Dawson or Andres “Big Cat” Galaragga.
Ooooo I haven’t done a Cub yet he’d make a great vid! 😮
Dawson would be awesome!!
17:37 and chipper walks us OFFFFF
That last home run I was in my bed room and had the radio on I was like 5 I run up front turn off my parents movie and change it to the braves game I watched that homerun and was going crazy he was my favorite player and it wasn’t close
Forgot to add I was at the hall of fame induction
Magical moment! Thank you for sharing that story. I didn’t watch it live but watching it years later is incredibly entertaining.
No way that’s awesome! After making these videos it makes me wonder what it’d be like to attend one.
