ATLANTA — If you thought former Atlanta Braves infielder Chipper Jones getting selected for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame was exciting, things just got more exciting and rewarding for him.
Jones made a visit to the Georgia Capitol building Wednesday, where he revealed the name of what he and his wife, Taylor, will name their son.
Gov. Nathan Deal congratulated Jones on his induction and declared March 21 "Chipper Jones Day" in his honor.
