We're almost into June and Chipper Jones is hitting a cool .420 on the season. I'm just wondering when everyone (besides me and other Braves fans) is going to start flocking to each stadium that Chipper is playing in to witness potential history.

Sure this may be a bit premature to start talking about being the first person in 70 years to hit two times above the Medoza line, but we're a good portion into the season and his average continues to rise. He's 44% of the way to having the minimum number of PAs for a batting title and the Braves are 33% of the way through their schedule.

Having a player hit .400 for a season would be the greatest thing to happen to baseball since the home run story of '98 and that was the greatest story since April 8th of 1974. Hitting .400 with two people chasing the triple crown might bring light to a sport that steroids have cast a shadow over.

What makes this story even better is that he's hitting .400+ from both sides of the plate and many say he's past his prime (won the NL MVP in 1999) and injury prone. Maybe no one is talking it up because it's like telling a pitcher that he's throwing a no hitter, but I'm here talking, even after last year when I posted this and the Braves lost 3 of the next 4 and began their downward spiral for the season.
