Todd Helton is one of the rare modern players who can say they played for one organization. Drafted by the Colorado Rockies in 1995, Helton made his debut for the team in 1997, and retired following the 2013 season, all while finishing his career with a .316 batting average, 369 home runs and helping the Rockies to a National League Pennant in 2007.

     This size 50 Russell Athletic button-down white with purple pinstripe jersey was worn by Helton during the 2003-04 seasons. The jersey is dated to these two seasons based on the Russell Athletic tag design, which is on the bottom front left tail, the lack of an “Rockies 10th Anniversary” sleeve patch worn by the team in 2002 and that Majestic became the official uniform supplier to Major League Baseball in 2005.

     This jersey has “ROCKIES” sewn on across the chest in black, silver and white tackle twill with Helton’s number “17” sewn on below in black and gray tackle twill. The back of the jersey has “HELTON” and “17” sewn on in black and gray tackle twill. The left sleeve has “Colorado Rockies” logo patch which is above the Russell Athletic logo embroidered in purple. Attached to the Russell Athletic tag on the bottom front tail are the size “50” and “HELTON-50-17” flags. This jersey comes with a full LOA from noted game used jersey expert Dave Miedema.
