Does Todd Helton belong in the Hall of Fame?

Yes.

Okay, now that that question has been answered, I will address all the questions from the doubters as to why Todd Helton doesn’t belong in Cooperstown.

Helton had a long career, but was his peak high enough?

There are 11 players to ever have five consecutive seasons of 1.000 or higher OPS; seven hall of famers, three with direct links to steroids (Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Manny Ramirez), and Todd Helton. He is also one of only four players in MLB history to have reached 400 total bases in consecutive seasons and one of only five players ever to have at least 200 hits, 40 home runs, 100 RBI, 100 runs, 100 extra-base hits, and 100 walks in one season.
