RIP Rickey Henderson

[sb1]

And still swiping bases…

 

[farn]

Was as good at drawing a walk as he was stealing a base.

Played here in 02. One season too soon before the run…

 

[Zuma]

Bummer. Damn I feel old. RIP.

 

[PatriotSpy]

Wow. RIP.

There will never be another Rickey Henderson.

 

[turkeyneck]

Shocking. No matter how magnificently vital you are in youth Old Father Time will have his way.

 

[Pape]

Sad news.

RIP Rickey

One of my favorite players growing up. Baseball in the 80's and 90's was the best.

Young Ricky was one of the few actually worth the price of admission.

 

[signbabybrady]

Underrated one of the greatest of all time.

Simple to win you must score and no one scored more runs than Rickey. Ever.

Rickey took his first million dollar check and framed it instead of cashing it.

He was one of my favorites growing up.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Awesome Ricky story. Rip my man

 

[Patriot Missile]

Best base stealer I’ve ever seen. I know the game has changed but 130 in one season is insane. To do it in the American league with a DH is just crazy. One of the most infamous and admired players in history right up there with biggest names in MLB history,

Man, I forgot he died. I am listening to an audiobook about him titled "Rickey". Really enjoying it. I started listening to it to have a break from all the political news going on and it is ironic that I chose that book, because at least the first two chapters talk about his early days and all the political turmoil in the 60's and 70's. Anyway, just thought folks might want to give it a read/listen. RIP Rickey
