A Shift to the Sports World- Shout-Out to Chipper

I haven't talked much about sports on this blog, which is kind of rare, because I am a pretty big fan.

Anyway, last night, my favorite baseball player, Chipper Jones, became the third switch hitter (hits left and right-handed) to hit 400 homeruns in his career. He went 4-5 last night, and raised his average to .418!!! (and its almost halfway through the season).

The great thing about Chipper is that he has been on the same team (Atlanta Braves) and has played for the same manager (Bobby Cox) his entire major league career. That is extremely rare this day in age. And another reason to appreciate him is that he has never been linked to or accused of using steroids. (which is also rare these days.)

All that being said... Hats off to Chipper Jones!
