Chipper Jones' career is nearing its end, and he's taking time to appreciate the final moments of the regular season.
The Atlanta Braves have secured a playoff spot, and third baseman Chipper Jones is soaking up what is the final regular season homestand of his professional career. The Braves wrap up a series against the Miami Marlins on Thursday, and they'll host the New York Mets over the weekend.

Jones is making sure he appreciates the games and the atmosphere. While on deck in a recent game, he took a moment to reflect:
"Just kind of looked up into the rafters and breathed it all in because I know it's not going to happen too many more times," Jones said. "And I just wanted to enjoy it. Just an old man taking it all in, breathing it all in one last time before I hit the bricks."
The Braves have clinched -- at minimum -- the top wild card slot, which means they would host a potential wild card matchup, though they are still mathematically capable of winning the NL East.
