Chipper Jones to speak at Winthrop event
Recently retired Atlanta  Brave Chipper Jones is the featured speaker for Winthrop University's First Pitch Banquet Feb. 10, 2013, at McBryde Hall in Rock Hill. The event serves as a fundraiser for Winthrop's baseball program.

Meanwhile
On a couple of related notes, Furman coach Ron Smith implied he has secured his speaker for the Paladins' 2013 First Pitch Banquet and implied that Chipper Jones would be the event's speaker in 2014. Smith, who did not reveal the 2013 speaker, made the comments while doing color commentary on the radio broadcast of the Paladins' men's basketball game against Southern Wesleyan. Smith also said Southern Wesleyan had announced plans steps to move from NAIA to NCAA Division II. If I reported that earlier and forgot, my apologies.

Winthrop stays busy
Several members of Winthrop's baseball program have been busy with community projects recently.
