Only 2 Days Remaining to Vote Chipper into All Star Game

There are only two days remaining to vote for the Major League Baseball All Star game starting lineups and Atlanta Braves future hall of fame third baseman Chipper Jones is fourth in the voting among National League third baseman. 

Now, I know that Jones has been injured twice during the season thus far and hasn’t played in as many games as most of the third baggers in the league. And, I also know that Jones is not nearly having as great of a season as New York Mets third baseman David Wright or even St. Louis Cardinals third baseman David Freese, and I usually scoff at fans who vote for their favorites over the best players in the league. 

However, I can’t help but think that Chipper Jones deserves the starting nod at third base for the All Star game this year in his final year in the sport. I remember all the way back to 2001 when Baltimore Orioles legend Cal Ripken Jr. was voted to start the All Star game for the American League and how great of a moment that was for not only him, but for fans all across the country.

Chipper Jones deserves that moment and all true legends of baseball really deserve that moment. I have a feeling that Chipper would want to be the last person to take the honor away from David Wright, but I also know that he’d feel extremely honored by the fans if they banded together and voted him into the midsummer classic. 

I’ve done my part and voted for Chipper the maximum 25 times. Now it’s your turn to go to MLB.com and do the same.
