Before the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets were rained out on Thursday night, former third baseman Chipper Jones autographed copies of his book, "Ballplayer."

After his public appearance at the Braves' Clubhouse Store, Jones jumped into the Fox Sports' broadcast booth to promote "Ballplayer" and talk about Braves' minor league prospects.

The Braves start a three-game series with the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday from SunTrust Park. The game is scheduled to begin at 7:35 p.m.
