The Atlanta Braves had had an eventful NLDS opener against the St. Louis Cardinals, though the final result did not go their way. But in the top of the ninth inning, when Cardinals outfielder Randy Arozarena hit a foul ball off Braves closer Mark Melancon, the fans at SunTrust Park got an unlikely surprise. As the ball careened over the netting behind home plate, who emerged with the baseball? Well, none other than Braves legend and Baseball Hall of Famer Chipper Jones.

That's certainly a cool moment for Braves fans at the game and those sitting at home. Sure, that's where the fun ended, as St. Louis erupted for a late rally and narrowly escaped with a one-run victory. But hey, Chipper Jones caught a foul ball! That's not something you see every day. Or any day, for that matter.
