Jones for RBI
Chipper Jones was a big part of the Braves 14-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. He picked up three hits, including a double and his ninth home run, driving in five. That gives him 27 RBI in 28 games played. He raised his slugging percentage over .700, second only to Chase Utley.
At 36 years old, Jones has never had a bad season. The closest was in 2004 when when he posted a .362 OBA and a .485 slugging percentage. That was the only time since 1998 where his OBA was under .400 and his slugging percentage under .500. He's had a remarkable career. The injuries he accrued only slowed his counting stats, not his averages.
