Chipper Jones wasn’t behind trolling Mets cutout at Citi Field

Chipper Jones wasn’t behind the cardboard cutout of himself and his son, Shea, that was seen at Citi Field in Friday’s opener against the Braves.

It was purchased by ESPN, where he now works as a broadcaster, according to SNY.

The money from each cardboard cutout goes to the Mets’ Foundation for charity.

Fans are not allowed at MLB stadiums for the immediate future due to the coronavirus pandemic, so various ballparks, including Citi Field, have given fans the options to have cardboard versions of themselves attend the games.


Jones tortured the Mets as a player, blasting 49 homers, 159 RBIs and a .309/.406/.543 slash line against them, and named his son after the team’s old stadium in part because of his prowess there.

It immediately was thought that the Hall of Famer bought the cutouts himself to troll the club.

The Mets won their Opening Day matchup against Jones’ former team, 1-0.
