Chipper Jones is talking retirement. And why? Because he isn’t producing, refusing to settle for mediocrity, and doesn’t want to hamstring his team with his huge contract.
Brett Favre: Take Notes From Chipper Jones, Please
↵Admirable quotes to follow:
↵↵“The day I become mediocre on a regular basis, I’m probably going to ride off into the sunset. Because I don’t have fun playing the game at the level I’m playing at now. […]
↵I’m not going to hamstring the ballclub with the money I’m making, and I’m not going to be happy being a mediocre player. […]
↵I’m certainly not going to stick around for a big contract if I’m not having fun and not producing.â€
↵↵Jones said he’ll probably play next season, but may retire before playing out the second and third years of his current contract.
