9 Things We'd Love to See Chipper Jones Accomplish Before Retirement

It was fitting watching Chipper Jones get a single in his final All-Star game.

It would also be fitting for the future Hall of Famer to end his career with the Atlanta Braves on a high note.

Chipper always sets lofty goals for himself and the team, and this would be a perfect year for him to achieve all those goals.

Here's a look at some things Braves fans would love to see Chipper accomplish by the end of this season.

1. Division Title

Chipper has always said that team success is more important to him than individual accolades.

The Braves are in prime position to challenge the Washington Nationals for a division title this season.

Chipper was an integral part of the organization winning 14 consecutive division titles. The Braves were the staple of consistency during that time, and Chipper was the face of that streak.

The Braves have recently been in a drought, and Chipper would love to get the team back on top of the NL East Division where he perched for so many years.

2. Top 30 All-Time in RBI

Chipper currently sits 34th on the all-time RBI list with 1,595, and is only behind Eddie Murray among switch-hitters.

Murray finished his career with 1,917, so that will be impossible for Chipper to reach.

However, to make it into the top 30 he just needs 34 more RBI. That would move him ahead of George Brett, Nap Lajoie, Goose Gosslin and Harold Baines.

Chipper currently only has 34 RBI on the season, so he will have to pick up the pace.

However, with the struggles of Brian McCann and Dan Uggla, manager Fredi Gonzalez has plugged Chipper into the cleanup spot.

That will give him some more opportunities to drive in more guys and move up the all-time RBI list.

3. Season Average over .300

Chipper Jones is one of the best switch-hitters of all time, and his 10 seasons hitting above .300 are proof of that.

If Chipper can hit above that mark again in 2012, he will have more .300 seasons than his idol Mickey Mantle.

Chipper is currently hitting .313 on the season, so he's got a great shot of accomplishing that feat.

Chipper has always expressed great respect for Mantle, so notching more .300 seasons than him would be a humbling achievement for Chipper.

4. All-Time Hit List

Chipper Jones is currently 66th on the all-time hit list with 2,674 in his career.

Chipper has 2,700 in his sights and has a great chance to move into the top 60 on that list. He needs 42 more hits to move ahead of Bill Buckner.

In doing so, he would leap Luis Aparicio, Gary Sheffield, Doc Cramer, Billy Williams and Dave Parker.

Chipper has 59 on the season, so reaching the top 60 is manageable. Unfortunately, Chipper will not make it into the 3,000 hit club, but posting 2,700 and making the top 60 would be a nice consolation prize.

5. 100 Hit Season

Chipper could reach another milestone in the hit department by recording another 100-hit season.

As previously mentioned, Chipper currently has 59. That leaves him 41 short of recording his 17th career 100-hit season.

The only season Chipper failed to reach 100 hits was in 2010 when he only played in 95 games.

Reaching the century mark in his final year would be a remarkable accomplishment considering the lack of games he's playing this season.

Chipper never had a 200-hit season in his career, but his consistency in reaching 100 in almost every season was vital to the Braves' success during his career.

6. All-Time Home Run List

Chipper can move into the top 30 all-time in home runs as well as RBI.

Right now Chipper sits at 461 for his career which puts him 33rd on the list, just behind Jose Canseco.

To reach the top 30, Chipper needs 12 home runs to tie and 13 to take over the position solely.

That will be a tough task for Chipper as he only has seven on the season. He will need to find one last power surge to make it happen but don't count it out.

If he does achieve it, he will most likely be in the top 30 in both home runs and RBI.

7. Double-Digit Home Run Season

Perhaps a more realistic goal for Chipper will be reaching double-digits in home runs for the 18th time in his career.

Chipper has recorded at least 10 home runs in every season he's played if you discount his 1993 season in which he played just eight games.

His career low came in 2010 where he managed exactly 10, while his career high was 45 in his MVP season in 1999.

This is yet another example of the consistency Chipper played with throughout his career.

He's been a steady and productive player both in terms of average and power.

8. 50 Regular Season Games

The Atlanta Braves are a much better team with Chipper in the lineup.

Just having him in the lineup for as many games as possible will be critical to the Braves' success in the second half.

There are 74 games remaining on the schedule so a good goal for Chipper to play in will be 50 games the rest of the way.

That is just more than playing in two-thirds of the remaining games.

If Chipper can play in 50 more games this season than the Braves will be in good shape to make the playoffs.

Keeping him healthy is priority one but just having his presence in the lineup will be a major factor during the stretch run.

9. World Series Title

What better way for Chipper to go out than winning another World Series title?

It's hard to imagine that Chipper only has one World Series ring when considering the Braves dominance of the NL East for over a decade.

Chipper would gladly sacrifice the first eight slides on this list in order to get his second Word Series win.

Chipper's always played with a team mentality and has always said that team success is more important to him than individual accolades.

Reaching these other milestones would be great for Chipper, but nothing would be sweeter to him than going out with a championship.

All of these are accomplishments that would cap off a remarkable career.
