Product Description
The Braves franchise certainly isn't lacking in baseball legends. But, perhaps, the new century will bear witness to one of the greatest players in Braves history - Chipper Jones. Already the Braves third baseman has made an impact. In this book, those who know Jones best talk about his tremendous offensive talent, his incomparable defensive skills and other aspects of his game. You'll find chapters in the words of Hank Aaron, Tom Glavine, Tony Gwynn, Bobby Cox and others. Think of it as a journal in words and pictures of the making of a legend. ... Read more

Brian: An Ignoramus in the Making
Chipper (Larry) was, is and will be a baseball legend. This Brian guy is obviously full of sour grapes for some reason. Maybe he's an Indians fan. (remember '95 ?) Either that or he is completely ignorant about baseball. Oh, and the book is just fine.

Chipper Jones a Braves legan in the making
This is the best book I have read. I did not know famous player thank chipper is a MVP

Great book about a great player
This is a really good book about Chipper Jones. It's a few years old now so he's accomplished even more now than he did when this book was first released.Also ignore that guy with the negative rating, he's obviously a Mets fan who has some grievance with Chipper and didn't even bother to discuss the book at all.Good book

A Braves fan dream
This book was one of the best book I had read. If you are a true Braves fan you should read this book. Every Braves fan should have. Chipper is playing next year.

Don't buy it....Larry is not a legend.
This book is another way to get Larry some money because he won't be playing ball next year....he needs his money so he is calling on his sheep to help him. ... Read more

The 40th Anniversary Topps Baseball Card Set from 1991
I find it very interesting that a complete set of 1991 Topps Baseball Cards costs less than the current set.The reason, ironically enough, is that this is because we do not know how much the current set is worth yet.After all, you get about 60 cards labeled future stars, prospects, draft picks, and first-year players, and one of them could turn out to be the official rookie card for the next Roger Clemens or Albert Pujouls.True, the card might come out years before they actually make it to the big leagues (e.g., Mark McGwire's card with the Olympic team), but in the speculation market that is modern baseball card collecting one card that can be worth half the set is the goal.

I do not buy into the speculation part because I collect what I must now quantify as the regular Topps baseball cards because they are the set that has been around since before I was born, unlike Upper Deck, Bowman, Fleer, Leaf and whatever else is out there today.Currently I have complete Topps sets going back to 1968, with 23 cards to go to finish the 1967, so I would then have complete sets back to 1964, plus 1962, 1957, 1956, and four cards to go for the 1953.Each set is arranged by teams, with the World Series winner first (the Cincinnati Reds in this case) and how each team finished in the standings.True, this become complicated in a world with three divisions and wild card teams winning the championship, but there are basic rules to all this (league leaders and highlights card up top, etc.).

With the 1991 Topps set, which was the 40th anniversary set for the company, there are seven Record Breaker cards (e.g., Bobby Thigpen sets saves record), 22 All-Star cards (left-handed and right-handed starters, and a relief pitcher, to go with the eight fielder players), seven checklist cards (arranged alphabetically by team), and ten #1 Draft Pick cards, including Chipper Jones (#33), which is the high priced rookie card in the set (and the right one to pick to show above).The second highest priced card is #100A, a Don Mattingly error card, which is not going to be part of the factory set, where the next highest card is Nolan Ryan (#1).The 1991 Topps Traded set is where the double-digit card is from this year with Jeff Giambi's team USA card; it also has the Topps rookie cards for Jeff Bagwell, Ivan Rodriguez, Phil Nevin, and Luis Gonzales.

What is missing are team cards, but you do have managers cards with team leaders listed on the back.In terms of current members of the Baseball Hall of Fame, in addition to Ryan there is Cal Ripken (#150), Tony Gwynn (#180), Dennis Eckersley (#250), Sparky Anderson (#519), George Brett (#540), and Ryne Sandberg (#740).As for future Hall of Famers, the controversy overs the likes of McGwire (#270), Barry Bonds (#570), and Sammy Sosa (#414) will continue for some time to come (Rafael Palmeiro appears to be toast at this point), but Greg Maddux (#35), Randy Johnson (#225), Roger Clemens (#530), Eddie Murray (#590), Rickey Henderson (#670), and Ken Griffey, Jr. (#790) are obvious first ballot selectees down the road.Others would be purely speculation at this point, but that is what the Hot Stove League is for, baseball fans. ...
