Braves to Retire 10-Time Gold Glove Winner’s Number This Season

Former Braves center fielder Andruw Jones will forever be a part of franchise history as the team announced Monday that they will officially retire Jones’s No. 25 this September.

Jones played in Atlanta from 1996 to 2007. In that span, he earned 10 Gold Glove Awards and five All-Star berths. In ’05 alone, Jones led the majors in home runs and the NL RBIs, and won the Silver Slugger Award and the Hank Aaron Award.

The now 45-year-old is also known for being the youngest MLB player to hit a home run in the World Series back when he was 19 in 1996.
