Todd Helton, a Colorado icon and former @Vol_Football QB, was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame alongside Adrian Beltre and Joe Mauer. The election night drama seemed to revolve around Helton and Billy Wagner. Helton's perseverance through injuries and his impact on the game were highlighted. He almost got traded to the Red Sox in 2007. Helton's high school baseball career with @dannykanell, Johnny Damon, and A-Rod was also mentioned. The induction press conference with Beltre, Helton, and Mauer was live on @MLBNetwork.
Some highlights from the 3 Hall of Fame inductees about what their first day in Cooperstown as inductees meant to them. Our @kgh23 has been there all day and has a full report: https://t.co/GUypuwviRH https://t.co/yugMyzOB20
