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
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.
Oh wow. RIP.
Everyone else will remember him as an A and rightly so but this is how I remember Rickey!
A's?
He was on the Mets? AI generated?

Oh no. He was an asset to that team, too.
Rest in peace to one of the greatest to ever play the game :(
Did Ricky always talk about himself in the third person?
But RIP to the greatest base stealer in the MLB

Omg no…
Edit: Holy he was only 65….
I was surprised he was 65. I know he had a long career, but it doesn't seem like he retired that long ago.
Those were my exact thoughts… he was before my time but not by much
Even as a Dodger fan I loved to watch him play.
You are a fan of the dodgers and 49ers?
That’s not kosher
now I feel old
Same here

I forgot he grew up in Oakland and went to high school, Oakland Tech (similar to Bronx Science)
RIP
Oh, no! He was such a legend -- a genuine gamechanger.
His stolen base record… man I don't think you can beat it even with the new rules
Age 65
another black man dies before collecting Social Security
No not Rickey!!!
