Colorado Rockies weekend discussion thread for July 20-21, 2024
We finally made it! Todd Helton will be enshrined in Cooperstown forever. The ceremony officially takes place this Sunday, July 21 at 1:30pm ET/11:30am MT. It will be televised exclusively on MLB Network and simulcast on MLB.com, and it is expected to take approximately two and a half hours.
Helton received 79.7% of the votes this year, and will join Larry Walker as the second Rockie in Cooperstown. He joins first-ballot Hall-of-Famers Adrián Beltré and Joe Mauer. You can read our entire recap of the momentous day here, and Purple Row will continue to honor the Toddfather throughout the weekend.
And while the rest of Major League Baseball was observing the All-Star Break and MLB Draft, the staff at Purple Row had complete coverage (plus our normal weekly Colorado Rockies coverage). Here’s what we were up to:
