48 - Rockies First Basemen

Baseball Beyond Batting Average

Todd Helton dominates the Rockies first basemen leaderboards like no other, and although there are only 75 players to have ever manned the position, there are plenty of interesting names, stats, and stories to go around. Mark and Andy go down the path of exploring all the ins and outs of Rockies first sackers, but get sidetracked along the way for conversations about 1990 Topps, the 1983 Seattle Mariners, and that thin Rocky Mount air. Names such as Jay Gainer, Kit Pellow, and Butch Huskey figure prominently. It all wraps up with a riveting round of Roll The Stat, the fastest-growing baseball stat guessing game in the 18-34 male demographic. Play along, beat the hosts, and bring home that hardware for the mantle.
