Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones is already enshrined in Cooperstown, NY for his work as a Major League Baseball player, now he's being recognized for his work in the trenches of the Triple-A International League.

Chipper Jones was the 1993 International League Rookie of the Year with Triple-A Richmond. Jones played in 139 games for Richmond that year and slashed .325/.387/.500 with 31 doubles, 13 homers, 97 runs, 89 RBI and 23 steals. Jones also crushed an incredible 12 triples that season.
