Atlanta Braves to retire Andruw Jones' No. 25 in September

The Atlanta Braves are planning to retire the No. 25 of former five-time All-Star center fielder Andruw Jones in September.

Jones will be the 11th Braves player in history to have his number retired.

"It's a great honor getting your number retired. You don't think about things like that while you're playing. You just play the game you love," said Jones. "I'm thankful to the Braves for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love."

Jones will be honored during a pregame celebration on Sept. 9, ahead of the Braves' game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
