Chipper Jones 1,500 RBI

Trailing 5-0, Atlanta was staring at a pretty dismal night on the Turner Field turf. Aided by the poor performance of Braves starter, Tim Hudson, the Marlins took early command of tonight's game.

But, Chipper Jones provided the home town crowd with a history making moment. With 1 out in the bottom of the ninth, Jones drove a solo HR over the centerfield fence and became the 51st MLB player to record 1,500 RBIs. He is just the 3rd switch hitter in baseball history to accomplish such a feat.

Although Atlanta lost 5-1, this is a great day in Braves history.
