Special thanks to Coors Field for inflating his stats.

Sheeeesh I'm really getting old.

I remember that great series he had against us at Joe Riley park in Charleston 20+ years ago.

He was a really good player.

The night that Tennessee beat the shite out of Georgia with Todd frigging Helton at quarterback was probably the low point of the '90s.

Spent many a day watching Helton, Gallaraga, Bichette, Larry Walker etc in Coors Field.

quote:

Helton’s road numbers were solid: .287/.386/.469. And consider this: Helton’s career .855 OPS away from Coors Field is better than the road numbers of several Hall of Famers, including Dave Winfield (.841), Eddie Murray (.838), Rickey Henderson (.836), Tony Gwynn (.835), Al Kaline (.827) and George Brett (.825).

That is really low and unsportsmanlike to downvote an SEC player on making the Hall of Fame.

I thought he was a borderline HOFer until I dug into his stats more.

Helton is well deserving of being in Cooperstown, and I give a lot of respect to him doing the Chipper/Jeter thing and spending his entire career with one team.
