Chipper easily goes into the Hall of Fame the first year he's eligible!
Real Baseball is played in October. The Post Season. Chipper Jones is a choke artist. Last time he played in the post season was the 2005 NLDS and he hit .178. Year before that he hit .200 in the post season. Year before that he hit in the low .200's. Guy chokes on the big stage. His team has made the post season 11 years out of his career. He played 20 years and has 1 ring. You think thats an accomplishment. Who cares what happens during the regular season. If you choke when it counts what good are you?

Hes overrated. Mantle is a legend
