KFDM COOP Posted July 16, 2006 Report Posted July 16, 2006 Chipper Jones ties record Chipper Jones tied a Major League record when he hit a home run in the 4th inning of today's Braves vs. Padres game. The record he tied was 14 consecutive games with an extra base hit. The record was set in 1927 by Pittsburgh's Paul Waner. With a single in the first inning, Jones extended his hitting streak to 16 games overall. The two-run, record-tying blast capped off a 6-run 4th inning for the Braves, who before today's game scored a total of 26 runs in the first two games of the series. Chipper Jones for comeback player of the year?
