Apparently Chipper Jones isn't spending his retirement watching CNN.
As forest fires continue to trouble areas of the United States, the former Atlanta Braves third basemen accidentally started one of his own, albeit on a lesser, more manageable scale for local firefighters to come extinguish.
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

Jones' girlfriend later tweeted a photo of the blaze.
