Photo of the Day: Young Ozzie Albies poses with fellow Braves legend Andruw Jones

By Jake Mintz

Young phenom Ozzie Albies has made quite the name for himself so far this year, knocking 16 dingers as a 21-year old. But Albies isn't the first guy from the small Caribbean island of Curacao to make waves for the Braves, as his fellow countryman Andruw Jones was one of the best players in baseball during the early 2000s.

Earlier today, the Braves tweeted out an incredible photo of Albies as an adorable child standing alongside Jones. 

Little did these two know at the time that Albies would follow in Jones' footsteps. I guess you really should meet your heroes.
