Goodbye Todd. Thanks for everything. First thing we better do is retire #17.

People have been on todd all season for his perfomance etc but ill tell you what, they will soon change there mind nxt season when they dont have his glove at 1B.

Hes had a tremendous career and has been a joy to watch over the years, good luck in further adventures Todd and thanks for the years!

Agree his number better be retired.

I will be at what on paper is his last home game. I met him many years ago, in the early 2000's, and he was very nice and signed an autograph for me.

The Rockies not only should and will retire his number but also put a statue of this out in front of Coors Field....

He hit a homer in his final home game. How fitting.

Todd is a true legend. He will be missed. Even if one of our own players is playing first base full-time next season (like Cuddyer), it will still be really weird seeing someone else starting at 1st.

to #17.

Peyton: "Todd, thanks for retiring and making me now the oldest living Denver athlete. If you wanna change your mind and come back, I'd be in favor of it."

Damn...I teared up a couple times tonight.

This sucks....he'll be sorely missed. Thanks for the memories #17. Thanks for one last good show at Coors Field!

Pretty sad day for rockies fans, todd has been a legend here for years, i dont care what anyone says we will truly miss his glove at first base even when his bat is cold... Hes been on fire this last week with his bat.

Wish i could have been there today to see it... Thanks for everything Todd! you will be missed. Hope some day he comes back to the organization in some sort of role.

Thanks Todd for all the memories. You were the rock at 1st.

Typical rockies sendoff, losing by 10 runs.
