Atlanta — It took way too long, but Andruw Jones took his rightful place among the franchise’s greats when the Atlanta Braves retired his No. 25 in a ceremony before Friday’s game at Truist Park. Jones was inducted into the team’s Hall of Fame in 2016.
“It blows my mind away. Not just guys that I play with, but being next to Mr. Hank Aaron is something that I will never forget,” Jones said. “It’s a great honor. Just a great honor by the Atlanta Braves to give me the opportunity to play this game that I love and now honor me with my number retired.
