Chipper went oppo to deep left center, and I mean way deep left center. The outfield fence is one of the deepest in the majors. Behind left field are the bullpens, and then 20 or 30 more rows of seats. Larry cleared it all and hit the ball off the brick wall beyond. It was a cold rainy day, and it didn't matter. That dude is a great hitter.the sewingmachineguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041850862520319891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798723981356546986.post-14235716675989713312012-03-22T14:23:26.194-04:002012-03-22T14:23:26.194-04:00With the skill of Chipper, I would be shocked if h...With the skill of Chipper, I would be shocked if he remains on the ballot more than one year.

He's an easy first-ballot HOFer and can definitely be proud of an excellent career that included a championship. I'm glad I got to enjoy his entire career.Dennishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09644523735533872065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798723981356546986.post-25039960066155392392012-03-22T12:37:17.548-04:002012-03-22T12:37:17.548-04:00Wow it's hard to believe.
