Todd Helton was a Rockies lifer. In 17 years with Colorado, he assembled a Hall of Fame resume. During his peak, he was one of the best pure hitters of his generation, even outside of Coors Field, a consideration often scrutinized by Cooperstown voters. Helton was also among the finest defensive first basemen of the early 2000s, and he has the hardware to back his case. He even approached baseball’s holy grail for batting average. Helton’s loyalty and unwavering dedication to the team made him beloved by the fans. Despite contending with injuries in the latter part of his career, he left an indelible mark on the Colorado Rockies franchise.
