Rickey Henderson

Talked in the third person, greatest leadoff hitter and base stealer setting the record for 1406 beating the previous record holder Lou Brock by 468 stolen bases. Henderson twas a first ballot inductee into the Hall of Fame.

Born in a Chicago snowstorm on Christmas Day 1958, Rickey Nelson Henley was named after the 1950s teen idol Ricky Nelson. According to family legend, his mother Bobbie went into labor before entering the hospital and nurses delivered the child from the car. When his father arrived frantic and late to the hospital, demanding to see his wife, nurses told him, "Calm down! The boy's already in the back seat." Over the years, Henderson would relay the story as proof of his destiny to be baseball's greatest base stealer. "I was born fast," he would say.

Former A’s manager Sandy Alderson Said “ I traded Rickey Henderson twice and brought him back more times than that. He was the best player I ever saw play. ... Nine different teams, one unforgettable player. Sandy gonna miss Rickey."

True to his reputation as an ageless showman, Henderson never officially retired from MLB; teams simply stopped calling. Pamela Henderson would say Rickey, even in his early 60s, believed he could still play if only another team would give him a chance.
