San Diego Padres’ surfboard ranked as best gift given to Chipper Jones by teams - MLB News
As the season heads toward conclusion, the Atlanta Braves’ third baseman Chipper Jones is receiving gifts from wherever he goes along with his team to play a series. Among the gifts offered to him so far the Big League Stew has rated the surfboard given
by the San Diego Padres as the best one.
The surfboard is not generally expected to be given to any player as part of his recognition for the services rendered by him to the sport. Therefore this very distinction of the gift makes it popular among the fans.
However it is interesting to note that Jones tweeted after receiving the gift and expressed his complete ignorance of how to use it.
Jones is passing through penultimate moments as a Major Leaguer. Due to this the tours that he is making with the Braves of various cities are fetching the media spotlight with the kind of acknowledgement of his services to baseball that he is receiving
from the host teams.
As the second half of the season is at a climax, Jones can expect more gifts from the clubs and therefore there is every possibility that currently top ranked present of the Padres may be beaten and overshadowed by more fascinating ones from other organisations.
The New York Mets can come up with the gift which can inspire the whole world of baseball and can be even more significant than a surfboard.
Meanwhile the Padres will be pleased for having stolen the media attention due to the uniqueness of their gift. While their performance this year has been unimpressive, making it to the top position in any category will be satisfying for the management.
More than this, the kind of promotion that the Padres have earned through this and how the fans are going to establish a positive attitude about them after this will be good for the club.
Jones is currently struggling to appear in the line-up on a regular basis. The Braves cannot afford to see him missing games because the season is entering into a crucial phase and a batter like Jones is supposed to play an important role in the victories
of the team.
Jones will be trying to begin hitting as consistently as he has been in the past.
