Chipper Jones: One-game playoff is stupid

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  September 22, 2012
On one hand, the new one-game playoff system in baseball gives an additional team an opportunity to play for a World Series title. That certainly builds drama and suspense, but it also means two teams have only one chance to keep their championship hopes alive in a sport that is structured around series. This is the only year Chipper Jones will have to deal with the new format, but...

Chipper Jones may be in his last season with the Atlanta Braves, but the 18-year veteran third baseman is still a rookie at heart. Baseball, like most professional sports, has a tradition of rookie hazing -- but it rarely happens to the oldest person on the team. Apparently Jones, 40, didn't get the memo.
