The horrible traffic jam in Atlanta left Braves player Freddie Freeman stranded in a roadside parking lot after sitting in traffic for five hours.
When he tweeted about his ordeal, Braves legend Chipper Jones came to his rescue - venturing out on his ATV to pick up Freeman and bring him home.
Freddie was stuck (via Deadspin):
Going on 5 and a half hours in this traffic! Atlanta traffic is the worst but then you add snow...woah!!

That's when Chipper hopped on his four-wheeler. His girlfriend took pictures of him heading out:
