There are a few things that you just can not do and invoke the name of the Rockies. As mentioned earlier, do not talk about how playing at Coors Field is like playing in space. Do not say that Nolan Arenado or Charlie Blackmon are Coors Field products. And, certainly, no matter what, do not call anyone other than Todd Helton “the Toddfather.”

Once again during the American League Championship Series, the Toddfather nickname was used in conjunction with New York Yankees third baseman Todd Frazier. Uh no, not cool. Of course, the minute the Toddfather name was invoked, Rockies Twitter blew up. Some even decided to poke the Rockies social media account about it. Well, they received a quick answer.

The Rockies made their point and the instigator waved his white flag. Oh, what a thing of beauty.

Just remember, if you make a Toddfather reference and the last name of the player is Frazier and not Helton, Rockies Twitter is watching you. Always watching you.
