Chipper Jones Might be Missing the Limelight a Little; Starts Forest Fire

After being considered one of the best in baseball for years and years it had to be hard for a living legend like Atlanta Braves infielder Chipper Jones to step out of the limelight. Since retiring he has been in an out of the social media spotlight though, and his latest venture--well, his latest venture is just a wee bit hot.

The man started a forest fire and than tweeted about it.

If anyone had been hurt this would not be funny, but since no one was it is. 

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

Oh Chipper.

If that wasn't enough, it sounds like it might be a little dangerous to hang around the Jones house:

@RealCJ10 my dad was one of those Roswell fireman. He was also there when the power line went down by your house last December

At least he can say its never a dull moment around his house. It also has to make you think when we hear about his passing it isn't going to be from natural causes but from some kind of freak accident.
