Did Ricky always talk about himself in the third person?
But RIP to the greatest base stealer in the MLB

Often. He beat to his own drum. I feel like you never really appreciated him until he was on your team, and you realized how much he brought to the table.

Everyone else will remember him as an A and rightly so but this is how I remember Rickey!

I had to do a double check that was legit too. I didn't realize that his time with the As was in 4 separate stints, wild. Also, I knew he played for a ton of teams but didn't know how many, like the Dodgers and Mariners. Kenny Lofton must have been inspired by Henderson in many ways haha

I was surprised he was 65. I know he had a long career, but it doesn't seem like he retired that long ago.
