Chipper Jones Apologizes

Last week, Chipper Jones tweeted out a statement that seemed to show that he believed the Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax. Jones has since sent out two tweets apologizing for that tweet.

My apologies for my Sandy Hook tweet yest. I had heard something from someone which I thought to be credible and tweeted w/out researching.

It was irresponsible of me to do that and will not happen again. Please accept my heartfelt apology to those who were hurt or offended.

Mets fans discovered early on that Chipper despises his given name. So of course they chanted it every time he came to bat at Shea.
