Chipper Jones Notable Career Moments:
* June, 1990: Selected as first overall pick in 1990 MLB Draft
* May 9, 1995: Hit first career HR, off Mets pitcher Josias Manzanillo, in top of the ninth to give Braves 3-2 lead.
* Oct. 1, 1998: Hit a walk-off single to left field off the Cubs’ Terry Mulholland, giving Braves 2-1 win in Game 2 of NLDS.
* Sept. 21-23, 1999: The Braves led the National League East by only one game as they entered a three-game September series against the Mets, the team that was right on their heels. Atlanta swept the series at Turner Field, though, largely thanks to Jones, who hit four homers and drove in seven of the 13 runs the Braves scored. For the season, he hit .400 with a .510 on-base percentage, a 1.000 slugging percentage and seven home runs against the Mets. Jones would win the 1999 NL MVP.
* Oct. 9, 2001: Hit three-run HR off Billy Wagner in bottom of the eighth in the 2001 NLDS, breaking a 3-3 tie in a game the Braves would go on to win 7-4 and a series they’d sweep 3-0.
* Oct. 4, 2003: Hit two two-run homers in Game 4 of 2003 NLDS vs Cubs.
* Sept. 2, 2012: Jones hit the final regular-season home run of his career, a three-run walk-off shot against Jonathan Papelbon to cap an 8-7 win over the Phillies. Jones finishes with 468 regular-season homers.
* Oct. 5, 2012: Plays in final game -- a 6-3 loss to the Cardinals in NL Wild Card Game. Jones singled with two outs in the ninth inning to keep the game alive.
** Jones made a living off of dominating his divisional opponents. Jones posted some of his best career marks against the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies. And while he’s more well-known for his exploits against the Mets -- going so far as to name his child after the Mets’ stadium (Shea) -- he actually had more success against the Phillies.
