Andrew Jones

You know, I think when when when we all was on on the fall and celebrated.

He called me FaceTiming and say, congratulations.

And I was so proud of him.

And, you know, I congratulate him.

And it's just a great honor.

You know, I know somebody put it and I know this from the beginning, but somebody put it.

John put something out there that, you know, we we a day apart from each other and the same year.

And it's probably going to be one of those duo that go into the Hall of Fame just one day apart from each other.

And, you know, it's just playing the same position, competing against each other for so many years.

It's just a great honor to be, you know, be in the same elite group with him and go into the Hall of Fame at the same time.

Well, I think the first year, you know, I heard a lot of my friends will tell me, it's like, yeah, you barely made it.

You barely hang in there.

But, you know, I didn't put so much mind into it because I really was not retired in that time.

You know, I went to Japan and I played two years in Japan.

And I was still thinking that, you know, I might come back in the States and finish my career in the States.

But I never it never happened.

You know, I shut it down and I basically retired.

I got inducted into the Braves Hall of Fame and I started working for the Braves.

So everything went down from there.

And then 10 years later, they say, hey, you're on the ballot.
