Chipper wasnt just a great all-around hitter -- he was a switch hitter who was good from both sides of the plate. I think this allowed him to age gracefully as a hitter into his 30s.

Not that this is anything but trivia ... however, I liked the tidbit that Chipper was the only switch hitter who batted. 300 for his career from both sides of the plate.

Anthony Rendon's a 1.000 hitter as a lefty, but Chipper looks safe because Rendon as a righty is only at .286.
