Chipper Jones Set to Throw Out 1st Pitch Before NLDS Game 1
By Adam Weinrib
It wouldn't be a Braves postseason game without Chipper Jones as the first face out of the dugout, now would it?
Continuing tradition, Atlanta's 11-time NL East winning third baseman will arrive and throw out the first pitch before Game 1 against the Cardinals on Thursday afternoon.

Now, the only question remaining is: Will Freddie Freeman get into the crouch and catch CJ again, like last time?

Any word if Freddie is going to show off his framing skills again, @RealCJ10? ? pic.twitter.com/1hjRpmzZsu
Probably best to preserve his strength for the rest of the game, but you know Freebomb. He's a gamer, he's probably down.
And who's tossing out the first ball for Game 2, you might ask? None other than rapper/high school QB extraordinaire Quavo, of Migos fame!

We're actually not sure who's more athletically gifted, but we do know who has more experience delivering in October. We're betting on ace-like efforts from both dudes.
