Touch em all Joe!! RIP Rickey!!
Steve Simmons column in The Sun today has this:
“There are many Rickey Henderson stories. This is my favourite. He was in his 40s, still playing, sitting on the bus with one of his final Major League teams. The young players, killing time, were playing: Where were you when this happened? They came to the Joe Carter home run. One player said he was in high school. Another said he was in grade school. Another was in the low minors. The bus almost went silent before Henderson spoke: He said: “I was on second base.” Indeed he was in his only Blue Jays season when the Jays won their last World Series.”
