Retired Atlanta Brave Chipper Jones Starts Fire

A familiar former nemesis of the Phillies, third basemen Chipper Jones, made a bit of noise yesterday in the form of a FOREST FIRE OH MY GOD…

According to his Twitter account, Larry was merely emptying out the ashes from his fire pit when things started to get out of hand. The picture above was retweeted by Jones, and shows just how serious it got. Thankfully, it seems everything is under control and no one was seriously injured. Check out the series of tweets he sent out last night:

Lol. Tried to do my daily chores and cleaned out the fireplace. Went and dumped the ashes. Alls good right? Nope. Set the woods on fire! Ugh

 As you can probably guess from this post, there isn't too much happening in the world of Philly sports. Thankfully, none of the current or former Phillies have started a recent natural disaster. Yet.
