OT The Greatest Theif of All Time

[smashmouth5]

Lost one of the best and my favorite baseball players today, Rickey Henderson. His book Cofessions of a Theif is a good read. My high school graduation gift from my uncle was a Rickey Henderson rookie card.

Oh man that stinks. He was one of the greats. He played for the Yankees as well. 65 is too young. Was he ill?
Just remember, I before E except after C.
Not to make light of this it is a very sad day.

Lost a baseball legend. My favorite Rickey Henderson quote was “Rickey don’t wanna hear about no John hitting 316. Rickey’s hitting 330.”

He was the Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year one year.

Had pneumonia.

One game he stole 4 bases without an official at bat. 3 walks.

I remember his 130 steal season. I started sliding headfirst to imitate him.

My favorite growing up, one of the best to ever play. Most of his records will never be touched. RIP Rickey
