Can you imagine an Atlanta Braves lineup that included Chipper Jones AND Ken Griffey Jr.?
It very nearly happened.
It was widely reported in February of 2009 that Griffey reached out to Bobby Cox and Jones to express interest in playing for the Braves. This is the story Bleacher Report posted about the mutual interest.
In fact, David O’Brien, who was then of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, went so far to say that Griffey WAS coming to Atlanta. That is also included in the Bleacher Report piece.
