In this day in age of sports where superstars switch teams like it’s in style, one Hall of Famer found a way to remain loyal to the organization he spent his baseball life with. Braves legend Chipper Jones spent his entire 19-year career in Atlanta, but in a recent interview Chipper revealed one team tried to pry him out of Atlanta during the late stages of his career.<\/p>\n

Dodgers came calling, but Chipper stuck with the Braves<\/h2>\n

The first ballot Hall of Famer joined Foul Territory to talk about the Braves offseason as well as answer other fun questions the panel had for him. Co-host, Erik Kratz asked Chipper if there was ever any other team besides Atlanta that he wondered what it would be like playing for. Chipper responded by spilling the beans about the Dodgers calling him the year he retired.<\/p>\n

Dodgers President Stan Kasten called Chipper with the offer for him to play whenever he wanted, and to serve as a clubhouse leader for the young Dodgers. Jones responded with “If I wear any other uniform other than a Braves uniform, they will burn my house down in Atlanta.”<\/p>\n
