Rickey Henderson was one of the most exciting players I ever saw.
His basestealing was off the charts but he also had 3000 hits, over 2000 walks and almost 300 HR

Amazing ball player.

Was he a well known party Animal in the 1980s ???

Wow, damn. RIP.
I always felt that he was the single greatest player in MLB history.

Homer's with style:

Rest in Peace Ricky

Saw many Oakland A's games with Rickey Henderson.

One of the first stars after the three-peat years of '72-'74 when Finley essentially dismantled his championship team.

Henderson debuted in '79. Had four stints with the A's, including the '89 World Series Championship.

One of my favorite Baseball players of all time. I'm so lucky to have watched him play growing up. RIP
