Chipper Jones = HOFer ?

[Sam Odom]

Talk of him retiring

I say NO to him making the HOF.

[Fischnasty]

seriously?

[Sam Odom]

seriously?

About him retiring or no HOF ?

[smitch124]

At least gotta induct him into the smokeless tobacco wing...

[Fischnasty]

dont care about him retiring. hes an easy HOFer though

[Sam Odom]

hes an easy HOFer though

Easy? Hardly! Maybe top 5 switch hitter but career numbers arent great

[Nicky Santoro]

is this a joke?

of course HOF'er.. Easily, too..

[Richkas]

yes

[RealSlimShady]

He will make it.

[Richkas]

HOF is over rated anyway. Who gives a phuck who makes it and who dont. When it was a all white HOF it was great. Now its a piece of shit.

[tullamore]

I dont think he gets in on the 1st ballot.

[daneblazer]

Posting numbers like that in the "steriod era" when his name hasn't been brought up at all for performance enhancers...he's in

[Sam Odom]

I dont think he gets in on the 1st ballot.

Agree

[jjgold]

No but if he had like 3 more freak good years then YES

[Sam Odom]

No but if he had like 3 more freak good years then YES

Chipper is ready to retire and get on with his real life, so I'm told. 2 more years MAX.

[Chi_archie]

prob gets in, but not for a few years after he is first eligible

[TobiasFunke]

Yes.

[CashMoney]

I think he's borderline but will most likely get in. Career .300 hitter with 424 HR's and a switch hitter. Also has a ring which helps the cause and has good number in the post season.

[smitch124]

If the voters are going to keep all the steroid users out of the hall, they have to let him in, otherwise they won't even have an induction ceremony most years

[MexicanStallion]

I would say yes Hall of Famer. My vote might be biased because I love the Braves. I still think he would get in, but probably not on the first try.

[Team Ramrod]

hes in hands down

[Fishhead]

At this moment, he's probably in, but not on the first ballot...

If he plays another 3-5 years and hits the 3000 hits/500 HR milestones, he's a sure-fire first ballot HOF'er...

I like threads like this; that way, I can figure out who not to never listen to in the future.

i just heard it all

you can't compare steroid era, juiced ball era, and shorter ball parks to the players of the past

your a moron, congrats

[stevenash]

Not a Braves fan, never will be, not a Chipper fan either, but this baseball fan knows he was one of this generations greatest switch hitter. Belongs in the hall with his .402 lifetime OBA alone.

He is the only switch hitter in Major League Baseball history to have a .300+ career batting average and 400 or more home runs.

Only Eddie Murray has more switch hit RBI's in the history of the game.

Chipper is to this generation, what Ernie Banks was to my dad's generation, what Paul Molitor was to my big brothers generation.

First ballot Hall of Fame numbers, first ballot Hall of Famer.
