Todd Helton‘s 17-year major league career is short in comparison to Vin Scully‘s 64 years behind the microphone. But it was still a memorable ride for Helton and those who got to know the Rockies first baseman.
Helton played the final game of his big league career Sunday in Los Angeles.

But before Helton took the field for his last hurrah, Scully and the Dodgers took a moment to honor one of the game’s consummate professionals.
Scully narrated the following video tribute that was played at Dodger Stadium.
