Rickey Henderson, Dead at 65
Rickey Henderson set numerous major league baseball records for stolen bases, including the career mark of 1,406 and the modern single-season record of 130 in 1982.
Arguably the greatest leadoff hitter in the history of MLB, of particular interest in these parts is the fact he won the World Series with the 1993 Blue Jays and was on base when Joe Carter touched 'em all. In fact, Rickey takes credit for Joe's walk-off World Series clinching homer.
So I was on first base and then I got to second base, Mitch was made aware about me, he’s stealing third base to get into scoring position. So he ends up side-stepping and trying to throw a slider, but he hung the slider. It’s all me, I think it was all me. Mitch said it was all me. If it wasn’t for you, Joe would have never hit that ball.
I loved the man's swagger, and he will be missed.
