Chipper Jones had plenty of big offensive performances during his 19 seasons with the Braves.

But he had a huge game at the plate on May 22, 1996 -- and stepped up big exactly 10 years later to lead the Braves to a win on May 22, 2006.

In 1996, Jones had two homers and a double as the Braves defeated the Cubs 9-4 during the final season at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium. On the same date 10 years later, Jones' solo home run in the ninth helped the Braves hold off the Padres for a victory at PetCo Park in San Diego.
