Chipper Jones finally hit 400, but that doesn’t mean he can stop talking about .400.

He hit his 400th career home run Thursday against Marlins pitcher Ricky Nolasco. He joined Mickey Mantle (536) and Eddie Murray (504) as the only switch-hitters in baseball history to reach that mark. But just as one milestone is reached, another pursuit enters the third month of the sixth-month baseball season.

Jones, the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman, is trying to become the first player to hit .400 since Ted Williams hit .406 in 1941.

“I’d be lying if I said people don’t like attention,” Jones said. “We all like attention. It has been fun up to this point with the 400 homers and hitting .400, although I think that’s a little far-fetched to be talking about it the first week of June.”

Jones is hitting .420 after going 1 for 3 with a two-run homer last night at Turner Field.  Read On
