Atlanta Braves great Chipper Jones had characteristics that a lot of fans could relate to or at least could easily like. He just loved baseball, he always had a smile wherever he went and he was just really good at what he did. Aside from that, he likes to go hunting and fishing, a lifestyle many in the south can relate to and call ‘casual living’.
An old ESPN article on Chipper called him “a man of the people” because he was a team player that never talked down anyone nor put himself higher than anyone, he always let the fans know how much he appreciated them and he was never “too good” for anyone to talk to.
