Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Braves franchise certainly isn't lacking in baseball legends. But, perhaps, the new century will bear witness to one of the greatest players in Braves history - Chipper Jones. Already the Braves third baseman has made an impact. In this book, those who know Jones best talk about his tremendous offensive talent, his incomparable defensive skills and other aspects of his game. You'll find chapters in the words of Hank Aaron, Tom Glavine, Tony Gwynn, Bobby Cox and others. Think of it as a journal in words and pictures of the making of a legend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chipper Jones, June 9, 2000

By A Customer

This is an amazing book for any Chipper Jones fan. Chippers' father comments on his upbringing and it also contains stories from the Atlanta Braves manager Bobby Cox. Chipper is an outstanding ballplayer and is definitely "A Brave Legend in the Making!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book about a great player, April 12, 2004

By A Customer

This is a really good book about Chipper Jones. It's a few years old now so he's accomplished even more now than he did when this book was first released. Also ignore that guy with the negative rating, he's obviously a Mets fan who has some grievance with Chipper and didn't even bother to discuss the book at all. Good book

5.0 out of 5 stars Brian : An Ignoramus in the Making, April 16, 2007

By	F. M. White "BamaBrave" (Alabama) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Chipper (Larry) was, is and will be a baseball legend. This Brian guy is obviously full of sour grapes for some reason. Maybe he's an Indians fan. (remember '95 ?) Either that or he is completely ignorant about baseball. Oh, and the book is just fine.
