Very cool!
Hitting machine!!
He was a class act and a great athlete. Loved watching him play. Big congrats to Todd
Use to watch him quite a bit on one of those superstitions that was on cable TV in the early days.
I don't follow baseball anymore, but when I saw that he was up for the hall, I feared that playing in Colorado might hurt his chances. Glad it didn't.
Saw that he is only the second SEC player to make the HOF. That's hard to believe.
I wonder if he's also the only member to have started a college football game at QB?

Todd Helton is such an awesome guy, but he's not the only one. Bo Jackson also did it at Auburn.
Thought Bo was a RB. Also Bo is not in the MLB HOF.

Correct. Still hard to believe there haven't been others.
In a sense….years spent in college takes away professional development time and shortens the major league career life making it harder to hit the numbers for a hall of famer…time benefit of stats…it also shows how hard it is to make a major league roster, much less be good enough for hall of fame worthy stats.
