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.

You should check his visitor games stats before making that comment.

.287 career on the road. .345 at home.
Oof.

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).

Weird how LSU doesn’t have any MLB Hall of Famers

Really???
quote:
Stripping out his Coors Field numbers entirely, Helton was a great hitter. In 4,612 road plate appearances, the slugging first baseman hit .287/.386/.469 with 142 home runs. His .855 OPS away from his home ballpark is higher than the road OPS of Hall of Famers Dave Winfield (.841), Eddie Murray (.838), Rickey Henderson (.836), Tony Gwynn (.835), Al Kaline (.827) and George Brett (.826), among others.
Why Todd Helton belongs in the hall of fame (mlb.com)

so, what you’re saying is that a MLB HOFer is better than a National Championship?

Where did he say that? Why are you being such a butt hurt little bitch over another team putting a player in the Hall of Fame?

He definitely implied a fallacy.

Oof.
There are currently 303 members of the MLB Hall of Fame Batting Registry. Of those, over half (157) have career batting averages below .287.
So, let's eliminate anyone from the HOF with a batting average of .287 or below. See ya, David Ortiz (.286), Yogi Berra (.285), Ryan Sandberg (.285), Carl Yastrzemski (.285), Ken Griffey Jr. (.284), Fred McGriff (.284), Roy Campanella (.283), Dave Winfield (.283), Willie Stargell (.282), Rickey Henderson (.279), Cal Ripken Jr. (.276), Willie McCovey (.270), Carlton Fisk (.269), Pee Wee Reese (.269), Johnny Bench (.267), Brooks Robinson (.267), Ozzie Smith (.262).
All of these players had batting averages below what Helton had AWAY from Coors Field. They were just horrible hitters, I guess.
Oof, indeed.

No, he did not.
Had he said something like, "Brian Kelly is a championship caliber coach", that would be a fallacy.

B!tch

I'm sure it did to an extent, but he hit better than anyone who played there, including Larry Walker who is also in the HOF.

You really need to take a moment and unfrick yourself.

It will be interesting watching him scramble to move the field goal post on this one. He might suggest that none of those players belong opposed to admitting he was wrong.

Home: .345, 227 HR, 859 RBI
Road: .287, 142 HR, 547 RBI
What was I wrong about?
