Andruw Jones is in the Hall of Fame — on his ninth try, with 78% of the vote — calling it the most memorable moment of his life. He thanked his dad, Bobby Cox, Hank Aaron, and Chipper Jones, proudly declaring “the Jones boys are in Cooperstown.” As the first person from Curacao to be enshrined, he even spoke to his homeland in Papiamentu. A defensive marvel in center field, especially with the Braves from age 19, he made life easier for legends like Maddux and Glavine. Though he loved Chicago — even attending a Cubs game in the bleachers — he cherished his Braves roots. His stint with the White Sox was productive and joyful, hitting 19 homers in 100+ games. His time with the Dodgers was rocky — overweight, injured, underperforming — leading to a lucrative exit after one season. He later played in Japan, won a title, and called his career “pretty lucky.”
