In 2020, right fielder Larry Walker became the first Rockies player to be elected to the National Baseball

Hall of Fame. Walker was voted in on his 10th and final time on the ballot, finally clearing the 75% threshold needed for election. Todd Helton is trending toward his eventual induction in Cooperstow­n and is ahead of Walker’s pace. A comparison:
