Newark's Chipper Jones continues to fill out his ballot for a spot in the DMBL Hall of Fame, launching his 400th career home run Thursday night. His 8th inning solo home run off J.J. Putz tied the game at 5-5 but the Sugar Bears eventually lost, 8-5, at Miller Park in Carolina. He's the ninth player in league history to reach 400.
Chipper entered the season with 396 home runs, good for 9th all-time, and now trails former teammate Mike Piazza by six homers for the 8th spot. The longtime Sugar Bear ranks in the league's all-time top 10, if not top 5, in most major hitting categories.
