When Atlanta came to a standstill 11 years ago this month, the Braves hall of fame third baseman aided the then-Braves first baseman<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you\u2019re reading this, you probably remember the last time Atlanta got a significant amount of snow – for better or for worse. Somehow, the Atlanta Braves found a way to become part of the lore too, and a certain Hall of Famer knows it.<\/p>\n

Chipper Jones jumped on X (formerly Twitter) Thursday night and made sure to let everyone know his ATV was ready to go if anyone needed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnow coming to Atlanta tonite!\u201d Jones tweeted. \u201cJust got my buggie all clean and oiled up, so if anyone in the Canton, Milton area needs some help, holler at me. Especially any of my Braves! Y\u2019all be safe out there. Us southerners tend to lose our mind when freezing precipitation falls from the sky!\u201d<\/p>\n

Jones is making a nod to the time he rescued Freddie Freeman on Jan. 28, 2014. Like many others that day, he was trapped on the highway during what has been infamously dubbed Snowmageddon (or Snowpocalypse).<\/p>\n

Freeman tweeted that he had been stuck in traffic for over five hours. Jones saw that and sprung into action.<\/p>\n
