Retiring a number is one of the greatest honors a baseball franchise can bestow, a way of saying that what this person built here can never be replaced. The Colorado Rockies have raised only two numbers to the rafters of Coors Field, and every one of them represents a career worth celebrating forever.
#17 - Todd Helton (retired August 17 2014) (Hall of Fame)
Todd Helton was the heart and soul of the Colorado Rockies from the moment he arrived, spending his entire career in purple and black and becoming the definitive face of the franchise. He slashed a remarkable .316 average over 2,247 games as a Rockie, collecting 2,519 hits and 1,406 RBI while anchoring first base with a grace that earned him multiple Gold Glove Awards. When the Rockies retired number 17, they were honoring not just a great player but the man who gave Colorado baseball its identity, capping it all with his long-overdue induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.

#33 - Larry Walker (retired September 25 2021) (Hall of Fame)
Larry Walker brought an electric combination of power, speed, and pure joy to Coors Field during some of the most exciting years in early Rockies history, winning the 1997 National League MVP Award in one of the most dominant offensive seasons the era produced. He hit .313 as a Rockie with 383 home runs and 230 stolen bases, a combination that showcased just how complete a player he truly was. The retirement of number 33 was a long time coming for Rockies fans, and his eventual Hall of Fame induction felt like a celebration the entire Colorado fanbase had been waiting to share.
