  1. Man condolences to the family. This seems like some sort of Oman with the A’s last season in Oakland and the greatest play that ever wore the A’s uniform passing within months of the season ending. Crazy, glad I got to watch him as a child.

  2. Rickey Henderson, the greatest leadoff hitter and base stealer in Major League Baseball history whose blazing speed, discerning eye and unusual home run power complemented an irrepressible swagger that led him from the sandlots of Oakland, California, to the Baseball Hall of Fame
    He stole 468 more bases than anybody else. His 2,190 walks sit second all time, behind only Barry Bonds. Among position players to debut after integration in 1947, Henderson's 111.1 bWAR ranks fifth, behind Bonds, Willie Mays, Hank Aaron and Alex Rodriguez
