Good for him.

I wish him well. But not too well. Go Cardinals!

Good for him.

Got to see Todd play for the Rockies back in 2000 when were on vacation in Colorado. Fans there loved him.

Hitters park doesn’t deserve HOF, I hate that crap.

Boo!

Right? Pitchers pitch and hitters hit and Todd Helton could hit!

All hitters prefer their own park, but stats will show that TH was a great hitter in all parks, couple that with the records he set in Denver, offense and defense, HOF for sure. JMO

Absolutely agree.

Todd is not in the hall for the home runs he hit because of the thin air in Colorado. Todd is in the hall because he could flat out hit anywhere

Todd Helton should be in the HOF. Even whenever you adjust his stats for Coors Field he still has great numbers.

Must disagree. It does give up more homers due to elevation, atmosphere...but Todd not a big HR guy, but hit for high average & a stellar fielder.

I guess this stat doesn’t mean $h!t? Only Rockies player number retired also!

Congrats to him! Well deserved for the VFL.

Watched Helton and Chris Freeman play little league at Inskip. They were the talk of the park and all us little guys were amazed at the players they were.
I remember the legend was that Todd hit a homerun from the back field, into the Duff’s smorgasbord, parking lot!

GBO!!

Helton will be his generations Dale Murphy.
Both belong in the hall, imo.
GBO!!

Totally agree. Dale was just on a bad Braves team. Terrific player & person.

Todd is not in the Hall of Fame. He got 52 percent vote this year he must get to 75 percent. He has 6 years left to be on the ballot.

Exactly, he DID go on the road. Just like every other player. It’s BS. Of course this is all about hitting and forgetting his defense.
