Braves Retire Chipper Jones' No. 10 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Jun 29, 2013 3:03 pm

A near capacity crowd at Turner Field showered Chipper Jones with cheers and praise on Friday night as the Braves retired his No. 10 jersey.


Jones retired at the end of the 2012 season.


"It still doesn't seem real," Jones said. "I played baseball. I haven't cured cancer or anything. It's almost embarrassing to be getting all this attention and all the accolades. It's so humbling."


Jones, the 1999 NL MVP and an eight-time All-Star, was honored before Atlanta's game against Arizona.
