Colorado Rockies star first baseman Todd Helton wore this black Rockies’ vest during the 2006 and 2007 seasons. Helton, the 2000 National League batting champion, had excellent years in 2006 and 2007 for the Rockies. The former University of Tennessee quarterback hit for a .311 batting average with 16 homers and 86 RBI in those two seasons and the Rockies claimed their first National League pennant in franchise history in 2007. Today, Helton is a strong candidate for induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and is the only Rockie with his number retired by the young franchise.
This Majestic size 50 button-down vest features “COLORADO” sewn on across the chest in purple and silver tackle twill. Helton’s number “17” is sewn on the center left chest in purple and silver tackle twill. The Majestic tag and size 50 flag are sewn on the bottom front left tail. The open sleeves have white and purple borders. The back of this jersey has “HELTON” and “17” sewn on in silver, purple and white tackle twill, with the MLB logo patch sewn on the upper back neck in Rockies’ colors. This jersey displays moderate game use and Helton has signed his name in black marker on the top corner of the “7” on the back. This jersey comes with a LOA from 100% Authentic (252553) for the game use and a LOA from Beckett Authentication (A25402) for the signature.
