Chipper Jones rescued Braves player stuck in snow
By Mike Dyce
This has to be one of the coolest stories you’ll hear all day. Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman was stuck in snow as the city shut down with inches of snow. Like my city of Dallas, they seem to lack the infastructure to deal with minor snow falls, of course owning the necessary amount of snow blows and salt trucks to deal with that in a city that might get snow once a winter wouldn’t be a wise investment either. The National Guard was out for much of the night rescuing stranded commuters from their cars, but not Freeman. Former Braves player Chipper Jones came to rescue him.
Going on 5 and a half hours in this traffic! Atlanta traffic is the worst but then you add snow...woah!!
