Here we go, a statistic Chuck has already broken into second place for career singles. While if he retires after his current contract he will remain in second place well behind Todd Helton. If, however, Blackmon sticks it out and has as long a career as Todd Helton, he will probably get first place a whole season or two before he retires.

As far as legacy goes, it shows how overall Todd Helton was a better player if you look deeper into it. Charlie will most likely remain in second place in hits, despite being first in singles, showing how much better Helton was with the long ball and extra-base hits (especially doubles). That said, it is a relief to find something that Blackmon could lead the Colorado Rockies in at the end of a long career. Good thing it isn’t the only stat where he will be leading.
