Andruw Jones just made baseball history—inducted into the Hall of Fame on his ninth ballot, joining Carlos Beltran and Jeff Kent in the 2026 class. With 78% of the vote, he’s the last living star from Atlanta’s dominant 1991–2005 Braves era, which won a World Series in ’95. Signed as a teen, he debuted in ’96 and became the youngest player ever to homer in the World Series. Twelve seasons in Atlanta included 10 straight Gold Gloves (1998–2007), and his elite center field defense—marked by impossible plays—put him in the same tier as Willie Mays. Though his later years saw fewer games and declining stats, his 17-season career, 434 homers, and defensive mastery cement his legacy as one of the game’s all-time greats.
