Brought a tear to my eye. Chipper was my favorite player growing up. I wore his #10 and high socks throughout little league and babe ruth. Congrats Chipper. You deserve it. And the 12 voters that didnt vote you in must be Mets or Phillies fans 😉

Well said. My first little league team was the Braves and I thought being put at 3rd base just like my favorite player Chipper Jones was the coolest thing ever. I miss watching him play. He represented everything good about the game.

Yankees fan and Chipper was the face of National League baseball for me! If I wasn’t watching American League games, it was tuning in to see what Chip and Braves were doing!! What a career!! One of the best ever!!

Chipper Jones my honest opinion is the best switch hitter of his era. My all-time favorite player to ever lace up there cleats! I will forever and always be a diehard Braves fan! Congrats Chipper this honor is well deserved!!

More than a hero. More than a legend. More than an inspiration. More than a class act. More than the face of a franchise. More than a Southern icon. More than a Hall of Famer. More than all, he’s just one-of-a-kind, someone whose aura and mystique cannot be put into words. God bless you, Chipper. Braves Country will always love you.

I must be getting old, I remember when Chipper was a rookie.

I know right!! I was 16 years old when he made his debut in 1993

Probably the best HoF speech ever. What a legend and ambassador and gentleman. Much respect Chipper

I am a Dodger fan, my mom is a Braves fan....I even told her that Chipper Jones is the one Brave I wished would have been a Dodger...just a Great baseball player..and he ALWAYS looked the part...Congrats #respect 👏👏🤟✌

great speech...class act chipper

I love how his dad AND Bobby Cox can barely keep it together when he is complimenting them. They both have placed a lot of faith in him and to see it manifest and get the credit in return must be a beautiful feeling.

When I was a kid, Chipper was my favorite player. I loved him. He has been an inspiration to me.

Chip is and always will be legend. Miss seeing number 10 batting third.

My favorite baseball player of all time. The reason I begged my mom at 6 years old to sign me up,for tee ball. The reason to this day I love the Atlanta Braves (and that says a lot given the fact I grew up in South Jersey where people live and breathe Philadelphia sports). There was no one other athlete who could pull me away from my Philadelphia allegiance, no football player, no basketball player, no hockey player. I'm a proud Chipper & Braves fan.

That Atlanta braves pitching trio was such a good pitching rotation and with chipper, fred mcgriff, andruw jones, and others on the offense the team was stacked

My favorite player growing up. Thank you Dad for being a Braves fan.

I will never forget witnessing his last home run against the Phils 9/2/12 and his last at bat 10/5/12 for as long as I live

Congratulations Chipper Jones! Thanks for all those good memories. God bless you and your family.

Oh the great memories, those Braves were the best 7:30 pm TBS, thank all of you guys what a team and memories !!!

Congrats to Chipper! Well deserved and had always be an inspiration on and off the field.

Thank you chipper. You will always be my favorite baseball player.

Thanks for the memories Chipper. I watched this whole speech and I'm glad to seen you live a few times growing up at Turner Field. Also, thank you for the shout out to Andruw Jones. It's a tragedy that he is not joining his fellow teammates in Cooperstown.

My favorite player all time

Met him in 2006 and he signed 2 balls for me.1 separately and 1 from the whole team

Greatest Player I've ever seen live! Seen two of his 468 HR's!

Braves Nation!! Great speech from Mr. Clutch, Mr. Rake, Mr. Atlanta Braves himself, Chipper Jones!! Congratulations, Chipper!! (I'm just getting around to this in 2020).

Great speech Chipper! You deserve it! I love how Jim Thome looks like Randall Flag from the Stephen King movie The Stand. Lol

one of the classiest and best players of his era and probably one of the five greatest switch hitters ever

Glad Chipper got inducted in HOF. One of the greatest Braves ever

In my mind, the greatest Brave ever. There will never be another Chipper Jones.

I cried so hard....we love you Chip!

Chipper played short stop on my Babe Ruth team. I played 1st base. He was a dedicated man who worked hard to get to this day. A good man and teammate.

The jones boys!!! What an era.

One of the best switch hitters ever!

Soy fan de los Bravos de Atlanta, Chipper mi favorito. Felicitaciones!

Well Done Chipper. There will never be a better 3rd baseman than you. Been a fan for 25 years. Hope to see 25 more.

My childhood hero. #10 will always be the GOAT in my eyes.

dude i forgot how awesome CHipper Jones is - enjoyed watching him play as a kid (RSox fan for lyfe tho)

Ross Hoyt Same here, Red Sox fan but Chipper was my favorite player! Loved watching him especially from the left side. I was a righty but admired his ability to bat for both sides.

I named my puppy in 2015 Chipper ever year we watch this together since so he know who he is named after. The state of Georgia an me an my boy Chipper love you Chipper Jones unconditionally forever.

Goat my favorite player growing up. He and John Smoltz is the reason I became a Braves fan.

What a great Speech...fair and good (n germany we get all about baseball a lttle later)

How is chipper Jones retired, in the hall of fame, and Grey. I remember when I was a kid I started watching baseball in 1998, yes I'm only 32, and I remember looking at Jones and he thinking looks like the typical adult. Maybe 30 years old When I watched him play with Sheffield in 2002, and I look back at those days and I'm like man chipper looked so young because now I'm 32 so when I was watching him play he was probably the same age or younger than I am now. It's crazy to see him out of baseball. It's all so crazy to watch these players start as kids, practically, at 18 years old and then see them retire in their late 30s and then go into the Hall of Fame in forties and fifties.

Well deserved, Chipper. Was never a Braves fan, but what a player. Congratulations

Chip, I would go through the braves line up in my back yard with my dad. This is also how i became a switch hitter. When we were up to you in the line up, I would ask "Dad, left or right?" and he would say "Well, thats for you to decide" Thanks and congrats Chipper, right where your supposed to be.

Para mí hay muchos tales como favorito :Dereck jeter ,Mariano Rivera ,Roberto Clemente ,Norlan Rayan .

Class act

Been waiting for this Awesome

Always a brave fan !! Love this !!

As a life long Braves fan myself, there were many other Braves players I liked seeing play more than C. Jones. Most notably, H. Aaron/D. Murphy/B. Horner/G. Maddux/G. Hubbard/P. Niekro/R.Gant/J.Lofton/T.Pendleton/G. Mathews/F. McGriff/A. Jones/M. Grissom. That said there is absolutely *no denying* his rightful place in Braves lore & or the Hall of Fame. I mean, the way he made the game look so damn easy & effortless was simply astounding to me. Very much in my humble opinion like the great Robinson Cano does these days. Before carelessly getting suspended this year that is, of course. Dummy !!! Anyway congrats from all of we Braves fans, Mr. Larry ‘Chipper’ Jones. For a honour that was/is *very well deserved.* GO BRAVOS !!!

LOVE U CHIPPER!!!

Great speech!

Funny thing about this was, as I was watching this live, I wondered to myself if he would mention Mantle at the exact moment that he began to talk about him.

Class act...also sounds exactly like Kenny Powers.

Most Excellent!

Great Dude! All the Way to the Hall of Fame! That good, clean Pierson Wind probably got him there!

Not bad for a guy who, in a 1991 issue of Baseball Cards Magazine was #1 on the C-C-C-Cold list, saying that he "will never be a major league star" while "Todd Van Poppel laughs all the way to the bank"!

In this microphone he sounds like Joachin Phoenix in Walk the Line

Yes, he does belong here. Not all do!!!!!

One class act!

Aloha congrats CHIP! Go Braves

Best lefty batting stance of all time. And he could hit for average and even power on the right side too.

🐐. Salute‼️‼️

He actually does belong with the other guys he mentioned. He's top five best third basemen of all time. Gotta give the #1 spot to Mike Schmidt, though, something Chipper would freely admit, because he's a humble guy.

congratulations to all the inductee's. now how about Pete Rose and the best DH Edgar Martinez!

GOAT

chipper destroyed my mets it was a pleasure growing up seeing chipper and our rivals destroy us all throughout the 90s

Ads start 1 minute in? God I love MLB's youtube

True story: I attended Taylor High School where Chippers daddy was my JV basketball coach. Chipper was 6 or 7 years younger than we were so he was still in grade school. One game we were getting drilled and at half-time Coach Jones was letting us have it but good. "My God! Chipper could do better than this!" One of our better player, Pernell Crowder chimed up, "Then go get him, we need the help".

Because he didn’t have a HOF career. He was AWESOME at the top of his game but he didn’t sustain quality play anywhere near long enough.
