Apr. 3—The Atlanta Braves will retire the No. 25, worn by Braves outfielder Andruw Jones during a special ceremony on Sept. 9, the team announced Monday.
The ceremony will take place before the scheduled game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at 7:20 p.m.
"It's a great honor getting your number retired. You don't think about things like that while you're playing. You just play the game you love," said Jones. "I'm thankful to the Braves for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love. Being the first kid from Curaçao to have his jersey retired is also an honor.
