(Listener...this was our first recording...one mic, two people, one every inexperienced "producer"...sorry. We are getting better, so stick with us!)

A single swing can rewrite a night, but a philosophy can define a franchise. We dive into the legend of Chipper Jones—why his switch-hitting precision, calm under pressure, and team-first choices still shape how Braves fans watch the game. From the TBS era that turned living rooms into nightly bleachers to the 1995 title run that cemented Atlanta’s modern identity, we connect the moments that made No. 10 more than a stat line.

You’ll hear how a young shortstop became the Braves’ anchor at third, why more walks than strikeouts signals a rarer kind of greatness, and how hitting .300 from both sides placed him among the elite. We revisit the walk-up pulse of Crazy Train, the last hit at Atlanta–Fulton County Stadium and the first at Turner Field, and the infamous infield fly wildcard that tested a city’s patience. Along the way, we unpack undervalued defense at the hot corner, the injuries that complicated perception, and the unselfish move to left field to keep the roster strong.

Stories carry this legacy forward: the AAA brawl punctuated by Jim Thome’s “Are you done?”, the snowbound night Chipper rescued Freddie Freeman by ATV, and the 2012 three-run walk-off that felt like a signature stamped in late ink. We trace how his approach—take what you’re given, hit it where it’s pitched—mentored a new core and kept influencing at-bats long after retirement. If you care about plate discipline, clutch DNA, Braves history, and how players become anchors for an entire fan base, you’ll find plenty to savor.
