Right. When I was at Tennessee, Todd Helton was the 1B, the cleanup hitter AND the closer. It was awesome.

He was drafted out of hs as a pitcher but went to UT to play QB. Then developed more as a hitter so he went that way.

I wonder if he played today that he would continue to pitch as well.

I didn't know he could pitch as well. I'd love it if more guys were given the chance. -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 06:53 2
- As a junior he led the SEC in homers, rbi, hits and……ERA. Had 12 saves. -- (pic) - Volnelk 🍊 Jun 28, 06:59 [Attachment] 1
  - Not only closed games but threw a complete game in the first round of the college world series. Damn! -- nm - Krusty Jun 28, 07:03
