    If I am not mistaken Chipper's father went to Stetson.
    He was a good high school prospect who had good offers to sign a pro contract.
    He opted out to go to college and play ball there. After college he was not getting those good offers. Thus he advised his son to sign after he completed his high school years.

    He was the first overall pick in the draft. Those guys sign 99.999999% of the time.

    Chipper went straight to the minor league Greenville Braves, not Atlanta. That's a fact and ì know that because i got his autograph at the old Tinker Field in Orlando when they played the Orlando Twins. I still have the ball too. Fun fact!

    If one is a first round pick out of high school in baseball, it would be beyond foolish to go the college route.

    If an MLB teams invests a first round pick in you, you will most likely get the best development possible with none of the bullshit that comes from and with some college coaches.

    Which is easier for him than most people, since he has a foreskin around his neck.
