ATLANTA (AP) — Andruw Jones, who won 10 Gold Gloves in a career that began with 12 seasons in Atlanta, became the 11th Braves player or manager to have his number retired on Saturday night.
The honor could add momentum to Jones' case for the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Jones' No. 25 was retired before Atlanta's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and some believe the distinction was overdue. The center fielder played his last season in 2012 with the New York Yankees.
Of the 11 Braves who have their number retired, Dale Murphy is the only one not in the Hall of Fame.
