The bad news is that Andruw Jones will have to wait at least one more year. The good news is that he is on a path similar to the one traveled by former Braves closer Billy Wagner, one of the baseball’s new Hall of Famers.

The Baseball Hall of Fame will welcome three deserving new members, but some exclusions still haunt the shrine.

Chipper Jones has a bone to pick with Baseball Hall of Fame voters. The longtime Braves star and Mets villain, who was enshrined in Cooperstown in 2018, took to X to complain about his former teammate, center fielder Andruw Jones, not getting elected in his eighth year on the ballot.

Player A is Andruw Jones, who is teetering on the brink of an eighth straight winter of falling short on the balloting. As of now, he clocks in at 72.6%, a figure that is likely to fall when final results are revealed. Last year, Jones' number dropped about 3% once anonymous ballots were folded in.
