PrintMilestones! The Rockies reached quite a few individual milestones this year including Todd Helton's 2000th hit and 500th double. Aaron Cook becoming the winningist pitcher in Rockies history. But what other individual milestones were reached. At the beginning of the year I had this fanpost about the milestones players in 2009 were approaching. Now that the season is over I thought I would give the follow up on the original. Below is a table recording the date and event that each player achieved a certain milestone. An "x" indicates the player did not achieve the milestone this year.
Player | Milestone | Start of 2009 | Date Occurred | Circumstances |
100 saves | 94 | May 23, 2009 | 2BB, 2K, popup | |
Manny Corpas | 50 saves | 23 | x | x |
Aaron Cook | 59 wins | 52 | June 22, 2009 | 7IP, 3H, 1R |
50 homeruns | 24 | x | x | |
100 homeruns | 89 | x | x | |
Garrett Atkins | 500 RBI | 431 | x | x |
50 homeruns | 33 | July 21, 2009 | Solo Shot second inning | |
Troy Tulowitzki | 200 RBI | 151 | July 30, 2009 | 7th inning triple to drive in Helton |
100 homeruns | 88 | June 27, 2009 | Two Run Shot | |
Brad Hawpe | 400 RBI | 341 | July 12, 2009 | Base hit Walk-off |
Todd Helton | 2000 Hits | 1957 | May 19, 2009 | single 0-2 count |
Todd Helton | 500 doubles | 471 | July 22, 2009 | 3rd, off scoreboard |
Todd Helton | 1200 RBI | 1116 | September 29, 2009 | 6th Inning double |
Todd Helton | 1200 R | 1166 | August 9, 2009 | Scores on GIDP in First inning |
If I missed any of the large ones please let me know. Thanks for a great season and I hope we can have more individual accomplishments next year (to go along with more great team accomplishments).

If you would have told me at the beginning of the season that
Atkins wouldn’t hit at least 11 homeruns and 69 RBIs and that the Rockies would still have made it to the playoffs…
I would have said you were crazy!
Sad season for Garrett, I hope he can rebound in 2010, just not in purple pinstripes.

I'm really surprised..
that Atkins didn’t reach 500 RBI, because 169 seemed achievable at the start of the season.

thanks for putting this together
Minor team records: Cook is also the franchise leader in starts and innings. Nice yr for Todd and Cook in the career achievement area.
Leave Dexter alone! You're lucky he even performs for you!
