Andruw Jones, who won 10 Gold Gloves in a career that began with 12 seasons in Atlanta, became the 11th Braves player or manager to have his number retired on Saturday night.

His former teammates hope the honor adds momentum to Jones' case for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Jones' No. 25 was retired before Atlanta's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates, and some believe the distinction was overdue. The center fielder played his last season in 2012 with the New York Yankees.
