Braves great Chipper Jones will be voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame Wednesday. It will be a slam dunk. Well, a home run at least.

It’s just a matter of how many votes the switch-hitting third baseman receives. Jones could finish with one of the highest voting percentages of all time.

Chipper played 19 seasons for the Braves in Atlanta, compiling astounding statistics like a .303 career batting average and 468 home runs.

We’ve scoured our archives for the best images of Jones. Watch the video above to see a tribute to the Braves’ next Hall of Famer.
