Baseball Hall of Fame Class of 2018: Speech Highlights and Twitter Reaction

The Baseball Hall of Fame welcomed in six new legends, as Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Chipper Jones, Jack Morris, Jim Thome and Alan Trammell were all enshrined Sunday in Cooperstown, New York.

Jones probably wouldn't receive a warm welcome in New York on most occasions given the way he and the Atlanta Braves dominated the National League East through the 1990s and early 2000s. The Braves were NL East champions from 1995 to 2005, while Jones retired as an eight-time All-Star and the 1999 NL Most Valuable Player.

The trio of Tom Glavine, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz were integral pieces to Atlanta's string of division titles, and Jones gave them their just due during his speech.
