Elton A Chipper Jones Fan



We knew Elton John follows cricket and soccer, but news that his time living in Atlanta made him an avid Atlanta Braves baseball fan came as something of a surprise.  The team's commemorative program honoring Chipper Jones on his long career in a Braves uniform includes a reflection written by EJ, who draws a parallel to Jones not being in the lineup (he is retiring at the end of the season) to Lennon without McCartneyElton goes on to describe himself as '...spellbound by the skill and beauty of the game' as Jones played it and passes along the appreciation he and others have toward the extraordinary infielder and hitter for having given them the chance to witness '...true greatness'.  He closes by imploring Jones to maintain a connection with baseball because his '...experience and knowledge will be beneficial to so many players', and, 'Simply put, baseball without Chipper Jones is unthinkable.'
