Chipper rescues Freddie ... over and over and over again

By The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
May 19, 2016

Things have gotten weird between Chipper Jones and Freddie Freeman.

Ever since the former Braves slugger took to his ATV to retrieve the Braves' first baseman, who was stuck in the snowy traffic jam of January 2014 in Roswell, he hasn't let him forget it.

You remember it, too, right?

That's the Braves' promotional pull to get you to Turner Field on Saturday, May 28 (4 p.m., Miami Marlins) for your immotalized version (bobblehead) of "Chipper rescues Freddie." (Watch the promo, above)

"Thanks, Chipper."
