Has any athlete received as much love from his opponents than Chipper Jones?

I'm not talking about the opposing fans cheering someone. I'm talking about the actual team holding a ceremony honoring a player.

Nationals put this video montage together for Chipper.

The Cardinals, Reds, Red Sox, Cubs, Padres and Yankees have all honored him this year. That's probably not even all the teams, just the ones I know about off the top of my head. Even the Mets, the team he's sonned the most, are going to honor him at the end of the season.

I don't remember anyone getting that kind of love from the opposition, maybe Jordan when he was done with the Wiz?

He was never that big of a star.

I could see it with Jeter, but not Chipper.

Add the Giants and the Padres to that list. And yeah I don't get it either

 

[Da_Eggman]

guess you never heard of Cal Ripken

 

[3rdLetter]

Yanks prolly did it because we share a mutual enjoyment of shytting on the Mets

 

[BigSteve]

He dips a can of tobacco a game and impregnates Hooters girls. He is baseball.
