Todd Helton joined the most elite fraternity in the world by being enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. Johnny Bench welcomed The Toddfather last month with these exact words looking out onto Otsega Lake in upstate New York.
In this episode of the Rockies Insider, host Patrick Lyons touches on Colorado’s 6-1 loss to the Washington Nationals on Wednesday before shared audio of Helton on Saturday afternoon ahead of his speech before 47,000 hardcore fans at Coors Field.
Listen as Helton shares his thoughts about developing as both a player and teammate, what the experience was like as a member of the Class of 2024, and how the modern game can be difficult to understand. Plus, he offers opinions on current Rockies like Jordan Beck, Michael Toglia and Charlie Condon.
Would Helton like to see Charlie Blackmon’s no. 19 retired alongside him and Larry Walker? He answers this question and so many more.
