Players to Celebrate in 2012: Todd Helton
This is the third part of a series celebrating players we have enjoyed watching for many years who we might be seeing for the last time in 2012. Today we celebrate Todd Helton.

The Rockies Fountain of Youth
The Colorado Rockies have been a youthful team for over a decade. Except for Todd Helton, they have unsuccessfully tried to thrive on young minor league talent in their system to supplement the wandering free agents.

Helton focused on team, not career numbers
Todd Helton's two-run double in Saturday night's 6-1 victory over the Cardinals gave him 1,301 career RBIs, which made him the 106th player in Major League history to reach 1,300. He also has 932 extra-base hits, two shy of Ivan Rodriguez, who is 52nd on the all-time list. But the problem is that the Rockies entered Sunday's game just 56-65.
