| Chipper Jones has played 18 seasons in the major leagues through 2011, mostly as a third baseman and all with the Atlanta Braves. He was the National League MVP in 1999 and the National League batting champion in 2008. By at least one measure, Jones was the best hitter in the National League in 2007 - he led the NL in Adjusted OPS+, an overall measure of how good a hitter is. Although it was his first time ever leading the league in OPS+, his mark of 166 was not his career best; he had posted an OPS+ of 168 in 1999, and he would go on to record an OPS+ of 174 in 2008.
