The newest member of the Hall of Fame, I cannot think of a player more deserving of enshrinement at Cooperstown than Rickey Henderson.
The greatest lead-off hitter of all-time, Henderson turned base stealing into an art and was the barometer by which all future runners were held to – and nobody compared!!
Rickey Henderson had amazing baseball [...]

Unlike many of the game’s stars from the 1980’s, Rickey Henderson made it to the World Series and he took home 2 championship titles.
In his 25-year career, Rickey played in 3 World Series match-ups. Winning 2 of the 3 is pretty solid and Henderson was a key contributor both times.
In 1989, Henderson’s Oakland team beat [...]

Rickey Henderson offered the baseball card companies something different. They didn’t have to rely solely on posed photography or shots of Rickey in his batting stance at the plate.
Instead he gave the card companies beauties like these:
The anticipation of the next pitch…
Head-first slides…
Base stealing dominance….
Pictures where you can almost see the gears in his head [...]

Rickey Henderson is the kind of player that can challenge for the MVP crown during each season that he plays. His ability to separate himself from the rest of the league gave him constant respect from the voters.
It was no surprise that Rickey won the American League MVP award in 1990 – it’s just kind of [...]

Rickey Henderson started a game with a home run 81 times – another major league record!!
Leading this category but quite a large margin, the lead-off home run is just another way to separate Rickey from his peers. Always physically ready and mentally prepared to take over, Rickey crushed 81 pitchers dreams before they were able [...]

I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, with a special Happy Birthday to Rickey Henderson as well. Now that 2009 is finally over, it’s been a long year, but one that I’ll never forgot. As a Rickey fan, getting to see him inducted into the Hall of Fame, as well as seeing his number retired by the A’s, we’re both once in a lifetime opportunities, and I’m glad that I was able to take

For 25 major league seasons, Rickey Henderson batted lead-off. He got on base in record numbers, which led to scoring a ton of runs.
While leading the league in runs scored just 5 times, [...]

Obviously, Rickey Henderson was a very skilled baseball player. But if there was one dominant trait that made Henderson stand head and shoulders above his teammates and peers, it was his base running.
Rickey ran the bases like no other. Quite literally, he was the best base stealer and run scoring player of all-time.
In his 25-season [...]
