Braves to retire No. 25 in honor of Andruw on Sept. 9

The Atlanta Braves will retire number 25, worn by legendary Braves outfielder Andruw Jones. Jones will be honored in a special number retirement ceremony on Saturday, September 9, before the Braves take on the Pittsburgh Pirates at 7:20 p.m.

“It’s a great honor getting your number retired. You don’t think about things like that while you’re playing. You just play the game you love,” said Jones. “I’m thankful to the Braves for giving me the opportunity to play the game I love. Being the first kid from Curaçao to have his jersey retired is also an honor. So many kids who grew up there watching me play and this will give them hope on what they can do in their careers.”
