Macon Family Keeps Pride In Atlanta Rookie Jones Thrills
A Macon family recalls Andruw Jones as a polite teenager who lived with them during his minor league days. The Rockers describe his drive, humility, and a family-like bond that helped shape the Braves star who hit two homers in Game 1 of the World Series. They contrast his shy, ice cream loving nature with his onfield speed, power, and strong arm. Jones spent a pivotal year living with the Rockers and fellow players Glenn Williams and John Rocker, embracing U.S. life, earning Minor League Player of the Year honors in 1995 and 1996, and gaining a lifelong mentor family bond.
