Chip Shots
Chipper Jones tied a cool record today:
Atlanta's Chipper Jones hit a two-run homer Sunday to give him an extra-base hit in 14 straight games, tying the big league record set in 1927 by Pittsburgh's Paul Waner.
Jones extends his overall hit streak to 16 games, with seven homers in that stretch.
Peavy gave up two homers today, continuing his problems with the long ball. He's now allowed 16 this year, after giving up 18 all 2005.

All right, how many people out there had thought about such a record, let alone knew who held it?
Although I never dreamed Waner held it, or Jones would tie it. And you're right, it's cool.
And unexpected. I'd have thought Ruth or Cobb held the record.
