Braves unveil a bobblehead of the time Chipper Jones rescued Freddie Freeman
The Atlanta Braves are in the midst of a painful rebuild, but at least the team (or the social media team) has not lost its sense of humor.
You may recall back in January 2014, Atlanta got some snowfall that put traffic to a near-total standstill with Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman among the motorists. Freeman tweeted about his safety predicament, which prompted Braves legend Chipper Jones to board his ATV and go rescue Freeman, who left his car in a parking lot.
That's pretty solid, considering we've seen a Max Scherzer bobblehead that looks like a creepy doll from a B-movie.

Chipper: ? "I can be your hero, Freddie."? (probably)

The Braves might be 12-35 by May 28 but that bobblehead will be a real nice souvenir.
