  1. Yessss!! Only autograph I’ve ever gotten and now he’s in the hall. Love this guy so happy for him

  2. He accumulated 24.4 defensive WAR, per Baseball Reference, in his career. That’s the most of any outfielder in MLB history, by 3.2.

    He had 50 more runs saved in his career over Willie Mays, per Baseball Reference, and 30 more than Roberto Clemente.

  3. There’s just no way to keep the best defensive outfielder out of the Hall of Fame when his offensive stats are as good as they are.

  4. Maddux & Glavine & Smoltz & Chipper & Fred & Bobby, and finally, Andruw.

    The gang’s all here.

  5. Yes, yes… a million fucking times yes!

    Excuse my language but my inner child is dancing right now.

  6. It shouldn’t have taken this long for arguably the best defensive outfielder to make the HoF. But glad hes in now

  7. The writers deserve the Triple Clown Award for taking so long to do it, but it’s well-deserved! Congrats to Andruw!

  8. Wow. That ’96 team has 6 HOFs.

    Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz, Andruw, Chipper, McGriff

    How did we lose that series??

  9. Man that is awesome! I spent my childhood watching him patrol CF. Isn’t he still the youngest player to hit a HR in the WS?

  10. 70 percent of earth is covered in water. The rest is covered by Andruw Jones. Now he can smirk his way into Cooperstown.

  11. Hell yeah, congrats to Andruw. He was the player that made me dream of being a great defensive centerfielder. I never played baseball though.
