Braves: Happy Birthday to Best Defensive CF of All-Time, Andruw Jones

Say what you want about the end of Andruw Jones career, while he was with the Atlanta Braves he was by far the best defensive center fielder in the game and a prolific power hitter.

In a 12-year stretch with the Braves, Jones slashed .263/.342/.497 with 368 home runs, 1,117 RBI, 1,045 runs, 138 stolen bases, won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves, made 5 All-Star Game appearances, and garnered MVP votes in five different seasons.

I'm sure I don't have to convince many of you, but just in case you're still on the fence about whether or not Andruw Jones is a Hall of Fame player, check out this article I wrote a couple of years ago.
