When discussing all-time greats, Rickey Henderson's name is often unfairly left out of the conversation. Henderson impacted the game in a less traditional way than typical home run hitters such as Mays, Aaron, Mantle, and Griffey Jr., but his overall numbers are just as impressive. The ultimate combination of power, speed, and athleticism, Henderson holds the Major League record for career stolen bases, stolen bases in a single season, runs scored, unintentional walks, and leadoff home runs. The 10x All-Star, 1990 AL MVP, and 2x World Series winner finished his career with 3055 hits, 510 doubles, 297 home runs, 1406 stolen bases, and a .279 average. Henderson played with grit and all-out hustle. He once said: "If my uniform doesn't get dirty, I haven't done anything in the baseball game." The passion that Henderson brought to the ballpark is what makes him one of my all-time favorite players. 👉 What is your favorite Rickey Henderson story or memory? ⚾⚾⚾
