Andruw Jones' exclusion from Baseball Hall of Fame due to Yankees bias, claims ex-teammate Chipper Jones
Chipper Jones fumes over ex-teammate Andruw Jones’ Hall of Fame snub
Chipper Jones has a bone to pick with Baseball Hall of Fame voters. The longtime Braves star and Mets villain, who was enshrined in Cooperstown in 2018, took to X to complain about his former teammate, center fielder Andruw Jones, not getting elected in his eighth year on the ballot.
Braves' Chipper Jones calls out Hall of Fame voters for Andruw Jones snub
Atlanta Braves legend Chipper Jones firmly made clear that he believes Andruw Jones should be in the Hall of Fame.
The trio of stars, each of whom spent part of their career in New York, will be inducted in Cooperstown on July 27.

Andruw Jones, the iconic former Braves center fielder, was not elected to the Hall of Fame in his eighth year on the ballot. His gains suggest he could be inducted in either of the next two years, but he’ll need a bump in support.

Billy Wagner doesn’t do subtlety. He comes right at you, with a blazing fastball and straight talk. So, if anyone wondered which team’s cap he will choose for his Hall of Fame plaque, he wore an Astros polo on a Zoom call with reporters Tuesday night.
Andruw Jones continues to be a compelling candidate for the Hall of Fame, and his ex-teammate, Chipper Jones, says it's time for Andruw to be inducted.
