  4. I remember as a kid I didn’t see Rickey in his prime and I saw him live when he was with us. My dad kept telling me how special he was back then.

    Even though Rickey was well past his prime I saw right away he read the game naturally faster than most. RIP to a legend

  10. He was the standard for leadoff hitter. Wish we had him during his prime. One of the best to play the game.

  12. Ricky fast!

    Classy move by the Dodgers.
    With the A’s in turmoil and moving to Sacramento temporarily, I hope they don’t fail to acknowledge what he ment to Oakland and to baseball.

  14. Ricky Henderson was one of the most exciting players I’ve ever seen, a great personal favorite of mine. He was magic every time he got on base, the cat and mouse game between him and the pitcher was epic and as we all know there’s legions of stories about him off the field as well that are really funny. Such a great athlete and I’m glad he got to wear dodger blue, even if it was for a short time.

    RIP Ricky and thanks for so many great memories

  15. I’m never forget the neon green padded mizuno batting gloves that we all got because of him in the 80’s-90’s.

  16. I attended Cal-Berkeley in the early 90s when Rickey was playing in OAK. I went to the SB record-breaking game vs NYY in 1991. Other notable personal notes from that day: (1) It was the first time I ever heard of Bernie WIlliams and (2) I caught a Canseco BP homer off a bounce on the concrete steps of the RF bleachers.
