It's mid-June and he's still sitting above the .400 mark, only the 10th
player since 1980 to be hitting .400 or better after June 15.
As intriguing as it is to talk about Jones hitting .400 for the season, don't bet the ranch on it. Here
are 10 reasons from
FoxSports.com why .400 has become a part of baseball's history, with
no reason to think it has a place in the game's future:
1.) It just doesn't happen
2.) Nothing's tougher
3.) Bright lights
4.) Track record
5.) Travel
6.) Lefty, Righty
7.) Pitching in
8.) Breaking balls
9.) No relief in sight
10.) Media
What about you, do you think it will happen? Chipper Jones himself told
Joe Morgan last week that he doesn't think it will happen.
"If George Brett and Tony Gwynn couldn't do it, there's no way a guy like me is going to," Jones told Morgan prior to ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball.
