When Fan Bases and Rival Players Collide


Chipper Jones was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. Among his career highlights, he loved making Mets fans crazy: He absolutely murdered that team's pitching over his long career. To retaliate, they would serenade him with a taunting "Laaaaaaary!" chant. (That's his real first name, which Jones hates.) For MEL, I wrote about a few other ballplayers and the battles they got into with rival fans. Hope you enjoy.
