Andruw Jones won 10 consecutive Gold Gloves with the Atlanta Braves and in 2005 set a franchise record (since broken) with 51 home runs in a season. Defensively he's 2nd all time in MLB history in all players, all positions, in Total Zone Runs (Brooks Robinson is #1). Andruw is also 1 of 5 center fielders to record at least 400 putouts in a season 6 times; the other 4 are in the Hall of Fame. He’s also 1 of only 4 players to have won 10 Gold Gloves with 400 career home runs the others are Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Ken Griffey Jr., and Mike Schmidt.
A perennial post-season star with the mighty Braves teams of the late 90's/early 2000's, he is the youngest player in MLB history to hit a home run in the World Series. His tenure with the Braves left most fans thinking he was a sure bet for the Hall of Fame, but a steep decline between 2008-2012 cast some doubt on his Hall of Fame case. Will the combination of his offense, defense, and post-season success be enough to get him elected to Cooperstown? Listen and decide for yourself!
