The switch-hitting, sweet-swinging Jones smashed a 3-2 Eric Stults pitch into the left-field pavilion with one out in the sixth before nailing his 372nd and 15th of the season leading off the eighth on Chin-hui Tsao's first pitch of the game.
It took him 6,622 at bats to break the record previously held by Braves legend Dale Murphy, who had 7,098 at-bats with the club.
Chipper is batting .325 on the season.

Friggin' Larry.
do you think chipper......er Larry...is gonna retire after this season? it seems like he's bene having lots of injuries lately.
I'm pretty sure he restructured his contract in 2005 and is signed through 2008 with an option for '09.
