Ferns farms and baseballs The Chipper Jones Family Sports Complex is of course named after Chipper Jones who played 19 seasons for the Atlanta Braves. He was a great baseball player who happened to be born in the small town of Pierson. This place is also referred to as the Pierson Town Park and of course the town of Pierson calls itself the Fern Capital of the World. I didn’t see a whole heap of ferns while I was in Pierson but I did see a very impressive baseball facility. They obviously take the game seriously down here. Not surprising with ol’ Chipper as one of their own. The facility has two softball fields, two little league fields, a larger baseball field, and a couple of practice areas and fields. A whole lot of baseball stuff, including some lights for some ball playing after dark. There is also a nice playground and some kind of rodeo place right next door. A huge 16 acres to throw, catch and bat little round objects around. Lots of farms and cows out this way and perhaps lots of ferns. This is also one very, very cool park to play some baseball. Chipper must be very proud.
