While I'm at it, this is my favorite Andruw Jones catch of all-time. Into the gap, to end the game, save a shutout, to the amazement of Tom Glavine and everyone else in attendance. Ask those HOF #Braves pitchers what Andruw Jones meant to their careers.
@grantmcauley So you're trying to tell us that THIS ball was CAUGHT? By a non Hall of Famer? Put @andruwjones25 in the @baseballhall!!
@grantmcauley I don't remember if it was Glavine or Maddux who said Andruw seemed to save a run for them every game they pitched (it was probably both).
@grantmcauley 10 Gold Gloves and 400+ HRs Mays Griffey Schmidt Jones 400 putouts in 6 seasons Mays Ashburn Puckett Carey Jones dWAR Griffey: 2.2 Mays: 17.9 Jones: 24.4 (best by a CF) Runs Saved Griffey: -19 Mays: 182 Jones: 254 (most by a CF) Andruw Jones should be in the Hall of Fame.
@grantmcauley NO ONE else catches that. No one. Him being in the hall is a no brainer. Surely some stat wizard can show how many wins he added to each of the HOF pitchers he played with career totals and how different they were without him...
@grantmcauley Ah yes, those were the good old days when we could watch the @Braves on TV without changing providers every summer to get the one who carries the sports network with the proper licensing agreement with @MLB. Ah yes.. the good old days. 🪓🪓🪓
@grantmcauley Amazing catch. Also an example of the many times he gave his body up to make a play. And why the falloff in his last years should be discounted.
@grantmcauley I don’t think there has ever been a better CF. Mays, Mantle and all the old greats would buy a ticket to watch this guy.
