Braves name Chipper Jones Special Assistant to Baseball Operations

The future first-ballot Hall of Famer has returned to the Braves as a member of their front office. The Crazy Train is starting up again!

Ever since his retirement following the 2012 season, Chipper Jones has been a vocal supporter of the Atlanta Braves, both literally and online via his, um, interesting Twitter account. It's clear that Chipper still feels a very close connection to the organization, which is easy to explain given that he spent his entire career of excellence with the Braves after they made him the #1 overall pick in the 1990 MLB Draft.
