Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox baseball biography John Joseph "Binky" Jones (July 11, 1899 in St. Louis, Missouri – May 13, 1961) was a professional baseball player who played shortstop for the Brooklyn Robins in ten games during the 1924 season.

Jones is notable for being part of one of the oddest trades in baseball history. In 1931, while a member of the minor league Chattanooga Lookouts, he was traded to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for a turkey. The owner claimed it was because the turkey was having a better year. The turkey was promptly served for dinner to assembled sportswriters, while Jones retired and never played again.[1]
