Wow. That just might be the saddest goddamn thing I have ever read. Please take a moment to picture Todd Helton—who made $20 million last year, is the greatest player in Rockies franchise history, and a borderline Hall of Fame first baseman—sitting at home, drinking red wine out of an igloo cup at 2:30 in the morning, and then deciding that he needs to drive his truck to the gas station a few blocks away so that he can buy lotto tickets.

Must have run out of booze, right?

He's made a career out of hitting in the thin mountain air.

 

[rjreynolds]

He's from Tennessee. Buying lottery tickets is in his blood, despite his salary.

 

[TheReff]

He's made a career out of hitting in the thin mountain air.

So? That is where he was given the opportunity to play.

"His BAC would've been lower but it was inflated by Coors."

 

[Smidge]

The mountain air made his bloodstream seen more drunk. Obviously.
