Jones posted the missive on Friday, then took a pounding on social media. He later deleted the tweet, but not before it was captured in a screen grab.
Seems Chipper won't need a Braves hat for his HOF bust, but a tinfoil one... http://ift.tt/1KtBttk

Really @RealCJ10? I can introduce you to my family and 25 others who would beg to differ. #asshat http://ift.tt/1Drgvto

.@RealCJ10 Come for dinner. You can meet my grandmother-less children and I'll show you my mom's clothes riddled with bullet holes.
— cristina hassinger (@chass63) February 7, 2015 Journalists also chimed in. New York Times baseball writer Tyler Kepner tweeted thusly:
Not seeing any remorse from @RealCJ10 on his timeline re his hurtful, insensitive, obscene truther garbage. But hey how 'bout them Hawks!!
— Tyler Kepner (@TylerKepner) February 7, 2015 Saturday afternoon, Jones said he was sorry.
My apologies for my Sandy Hook tweet yest. I had heard something from someone which I thought to be credible and tweeted w/out researching.
— Chipper Jones (@RealCJ10) February 7, 2015
It was irresponsible of me to do that and will not happen again. Please accept my heartfelt apology to those who were hurt or offended.
