In reply to Drew. If he made that good of a positive impact, where's that World Series Ring?

In reply to LIVEfrom718. Something to remember is that Chipper Jones is retiring from the game of baseball. He is a spectacular player and will be remembered as that forever. Jose Reyes is an all star player who left the Mets organization to go play in Miami. He isn't retired and gone from the game. He's still here

In reply to HuskyHauler. I wouldn't say that. But Jose Reyes certainly had more of a positive impact on the New York Mets than Chipper Jones has had on the Cincinnati Reds.

In reply to LIVEfrom718. You're not suggesting that Jose Reyes has had the career and impact on the game as Chipper Jones are you? C'mon

The Mets will always get knocked, whatever they will do. Call it the curse of the Yankees, who just dominate opinions from Medialand. As for the Reds, it is a nice gesture. Chipper deserves everything that opposing teams will honour him with this season. Wonder who will give Chipper a rocking chair, just like Kareem Abdul Jabbar got when he retired (which he clearly enjoyed at the time, I seem to remember). Good idea for the Mets? Nah, if they would do it before their final home game against ATL all those navy pinstriped media cats will probably say it is some sort of insult to the still youthful Chipper or something. Don’t know if the Braves have an interleague away game coming up in the Bronx. If Jeter presents him with a rocking chair everybody from the media will say that it is such an original and classy thing to do from one veteran to another. Just wait and see.

I don’t get it… The Mets got knocked when they did a video tribute for Jose Reyes, who spent 9 years in Queens when he returned for his first game as a Marlin.. Now the Reds honor a player that never played for them an it’s “classy”.

Cardinals did something like that a few weeks ago. Even the fans gave Chipper a standing O
