He played for the same team for nineteen years. I guess he didn't need any respect.

Individuals that go by the name "Chipper" don't seak out respect.


On a serious note: first ballot HoFer. One of the best switch hitters of all time as well.

Chipper Jones: .304/.402/.533/.935, 2615 hits, 454 HR, 141 OPS+ (career)
Ted Simmons: .285/.348/.437/.785, 2472 hits, 248 HR, 117 OPS+ (career)

I'll take Chipper.

If Simmons had the same stats as a non catcher he wouldn't even be in the HOF discussion.

It's always great to read what these guys who have played forever think about their competition and careers.
