Success comes from what you do,

Not from what you say you are

Going to do.

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up

To the plate trying to hit a home run.

I said, 'Sure, every time.'"

Like most people who are great at things,

He (Chipper Jones) was just singularly driven.

This is what he was born and raised to do.

He says all the time,

'I would have done this or that.'

But I don't believe there was any alternative

In his mind.

He dabbled in other things.

He was a very good football

Player and a heck of a basketball player.

He was one of those athletes who was good

At whatever He did.

But you could tell from the outset that [baseball]

Was what he was going to do, and nothing was

Getting In his way.

- B.B. Abbott

Chipper Jones’ life-long friend and agent
