[edit] Removed point of view section
In case anyone is interested, here's a section I removed:
Although scientifically it is known that the advantage of the relatively low 5,300 foot altitude to a hitter is slight, East Coast sportswriters who dominate the MVP voting really have no intention of objectively considering an MVP candidate from a 'small market' in the West.

- Well, that doesn't sound POV at all... :) Joe 21:44, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I would agree with the statement in that by the numbers Helton might be the best offensive player in MLB. Looking at Helton's page on the MLB website, right now (with many many fewer at bats that the other players) he's 20th in average, 5th in on-base percentage and 8th in slugging percentage ever. Particularly the slugging percentage, which is not mentioned in the article under 'selected stats'. Is that stat more relevant than say his home run total? Mglovesfun 17:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Error
The stats indicated on the chart are not up to date, even with the dates indicated.--Epeefleche 03:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] High School Graduation
Helton graduated from Central in 1992 as mentioned here and here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.203.192.166 (talk • contribs)
[edit] Added Coors Field Effect again
I added the Coors Field Effect section someone else removed.
I tried to avoid any POV, just listed the home vs. away stats and provided a link to that information. In case anyone cares, please review and edit anything I included that might be POV. Thanks. Rudiger19 22:13, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] This article is poor
This article is badly written, not neutral and generally pisses me off a bit. For example
"Helton is also one of only four players to have reached 400 total bases in consecutive seasons (405 in 2000, 402 in 2001). Klein accomplished this feat in 1931 and 1933; Gehrig did so in 1927 and 1932; and Jimmie Foxx did so in 1934 and 1936"
Are 1931 and 1933 consecutive years? Or 1927 and 1932? Or 1934 and 1936? Mglovesfun 00:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
