Rickey Henderson, the greatest ever
There is only one Rickey Henderson and in my mind he was greatest ever. Yes, he only had 297 career homers and yes his career batting average in only .279.

Rickey Henderson sets the record straight about “Rickey Stories”
Rickey Henderson is a baseball legend…in more ways than one.

I have lots...

Rickey Henderson said it the only way Rickey would on the day he stole his 939th base, passing Lou Brock for first on the All-time list: “Today, I’m the greatest of all time.” Mind you, Lou Brock was standing right next to Henderson when he proclaimed that over the PA system, but that’s besides the point.
