Chipper Jones spotted with Playboy model
Chipper Jones was a baseball sensation in his 19-season career, piling up 2,726 hits, 468 homers and a .303 career batting average.
But the former Braves third baseman became an internet sensation Thursday when word, and a photo, spread around the World Wide Web that Jones is dating a Playboy model.

Jones, who tweeted on November 16 that his divorce from his second wife was final, has been spotted with Taylor Higgins, Bustedcoverage.com and several other websites reported. The sites also posted a photo of the couple posing for a photo at an unknown location.
Higgins is known professionally as Lexi Ray or Lexi Ray Taylor. Bustedcoverage.com says Higgins was once a Playboy coed of the week, and that she “specialized in naked shower videos and your run-of-the-mill naked photo shoots.”
A 2010 bio on Higgins said she was studying nursing at the University of Kentucky and quoted Higgins as saying, “I’m surprisingly good at shooting a gun! I love to go deer hunting and just practice my shot during the off-season. It’s a great way to get rid of stress.”
Chipper Jones is known as an avid hunter himself.

@ FJ10 and Columbus. Thanks for confirming the point of my original post. You guys rock! I also appreciate the both of you expressing your point with such eloquence (I hear banjo’s).

I wonder if she realizes that she gets Juan Francisco instead when Chipper takes the day off…

Wonder if ol Chipper will suffer as many oblique injuries, etc. working with her on “hunting lessons” as he claimed that kept him out of the Braves lineup the last 4-5 years. I think now that he is gone, the Braves may finally have a chance to win.

I know you & I will never forget that time in Spring Training in the mid-90’s when a dad and his 8-year old son asked you during B.P. to sign a baseball. You had plenty of time to do so. You looked us over and after several seconds simply uttered, “Nah!” then trotted into the clubhouse. A class-act and gentleman you are not and have a long way to go. We got some work to do.
Signed,
Your conscience

Chipper’s Conscience: I call fraud. Chipper has NO conscience as evidenced by his lazy and uncaring attitude displayed in the final years of his career. I am sorry that you and your son were treated so shabbily but your description of the jerk fits everything I have ever heard about Chipper outside of the “report no evil” pages of the AJC.

Have a feeling CJ is not the person a lot of people think he is. Many let the fact he was a really good baseball player overshadow everything else. If that was just a common, unknown person who had never accomplished anything, most of you “idolizers” would be all over them. And, if, as someone said, his Mother has accepted her(who knows, maybe she hasn’t really) then that tells me more about his parents than I really want to know. I will just continue to picture him as an outstanding baseball player. Nothing more, nothing less! We had to push Bill Clinton’s sordid past aside as if it didn’t happen, so why not Chipper’s too.

Stay classy Chipper! Wonder if he’s allowed his oldest son to view her “work”.

Obviously a painful homelife to say the least for all these years. Too bad, Chip seems like he’s a decent guy from all reports by teammates, management. Parents have always seemed solid….no Earl Woods type, etc. chip seems to be his own worst enemy though with women. Find a smokin hot blonde bOmb shell gold digging southern debutant that you don’t want to strangle in the morning and I guess you might think you’ve found heaven……at least for awhile.

As my old friend..Carl…said one day…while we were sitting in the prison cafeteria…
“Chipper gonna do….what Chipper gonna do!”
It’s all about the “Bat”BABY!
Also…it appears Chipper has gottin into the candy…arm candy and the Snickers bars

Jones is a grown man, pays his taxes, is a good father, and a future Hall of Famer. That is all any of should know or care about.

Chipper could it. Pure and simple.
But I don’t think he’s wired to be rich, or to be famous, or be a team leader. Or at least he’s not wired to do those things well, and to make smart decisions in a life where he was destined to be rich and famous, and was expected to be a team leader. That’s not his fault, really.

He’ll be old and alone before long, and broke if he isn’t careful.

Hey Legionaire, Yeah, Chipper is a great father. I mean, not only did he have a 19-year career of playing baseball where he travels a lot, but he bought his ranch in TX where he spends the rest of his time, away from his family. Yeah, he’s shown great morals to his children by having what the media has reported a MINIMUM 4 women in his life. His first wife, hooters girl, 2nd wife, and now this lady. I’m sure his children love the fact that until now, he’s had no time to spend with them, and now that he has time, he’s hanging out with playboy models. That’s a great role model that shows his kids that you don’t have to be faithful to your wife and you can crap all over them and leave them b/c you can. What a great way to promote loyalty and show how a father should act. I’d like to know which family he spends Christmas and Thanksgiving with. . . . . Cause he’s on his way to a 4th family. I’m sure his kids understand that he has to spend time with all his families.
He’ll get his punishment one day. When all these kids are grown and he has to pay for their college education, or better yet, he ends up like Holyfield and has to pay a bunch of child support. What’s the over under he’s bankrupt and crying about all his debt and the blood sucking wives/gals with sucking his $ away by the time he’s 50?
You know, I get it to, one divorce, we all make mistakes, but the route this clown is taking. . .. . 1st time shame on him, 2nd time shame on me.
To think, this POS will get into the HOF before Dale Murphy. Good thing to know that “character”, which is a HOF requirement is thrown out the window on this one.

Buford T. Pusser is absolutely correct.
Isn’t it about time that the AJC sportswriters moved on from Jones. He is retired. Let him become retired from our minds- particularly in regard to his escapades. He was a very good, not great, player. The same can’t be said about him as a human being and role model.

On the field, Chipper was the man but off the field he is kind of a douche. Look at his haircut and his stupid chinstrap beard. Not to mention his suit is too big and looks like trash (even though it’s probably worth more than my car).

Pretty disappointed in Chipper leaving his wife & kids to try to be 21 again at age 41. Seems like #10 needs to get his life in order.

First, it was cheating on (fine, upstanding woman) wife with a Hooters waitress – or maybe more than one. Then it was cheating on Hooters waitress-turned wife with any female that was dumb enough to give in. Now it is former Playboy exhibionist who tried hidding those activities. What next, a 22 year old, exlementary school teacher intern? Yes, sir, with every step he makes, Momma gets prouder. Isn’t that why she didn’t talk to him for 8 years….
Wake up people, this so-called superstar ain’t the pillar of the community that deserves your respect and admiration, much less to be touted as a role model for your children.

She is willing to be generous with her body, and she can field-dress a deer. Chipper should ride this one until the next one comes along.

You need to grow up and accept some responsibility … maybe if your head had been in the right place, you wouldn’t have made so many errors in 12 ….

Nativebird, have you not been paying attention to what went on around you all these past years? Time to reevaluate your definition of a decent man. Just because he was not caught by MLB for using PEDs, or arrested by local authoriteis for stalking around school zones, does not qualify him as a “decent man”. Character and morals and family values are seemingly missing in his life.

I lost a ton of respect for Chipper today. Partying with Jason Aldean & Luke Bryan & dating Playboy models are more important to him than his family (ex-wife/kids).

I hope his ex-wives and mistresses are getting PAID big child support checks. I am so glad Chipper is gone…..Everybody thought he was so great but he was not. Now maybe a real role mode will appear instead of a womanizer.

Now we see where Chipper’s mind was when he made the throwing error in the WC game. This chick seems a step up from the Hooters’ girls, but she appears a little old for Chipper’s tastes. Chipper’s wealth gets chopped in half by each ex wife. Little Missy should check his bank account before she commits.
