"Tuesday marked a huge day for the Atlanta Braves organization, as Andruw Jones was finally elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The Atlanta great was included on 333 of the 425 ballots, giving him just over the 75% of votes needed to make the 2026 class. Fellow center fielder Carlos Beltran was also elected. Debuting in 1996, Jones spent 12 seasons in Atlanta before heading West to suit up for the Los Angeles Dodgers."
"The five-time All-Star played his last MLB game in 2012 and finished his career with 10 Gold Gloves, a Silver Slugger award, a .992 fielding percentage, 1,933 hits, 1,289 RBI, and 434 home runs. His Hall of Fame election cements his place among the legendary Braves of the '90s and recognizes one of the game's premier all-around talents. We've provided the stats, but now it's your turn. How do you predict Ronald Acuña Jr. will perform in 2026?"
