Willie Mays, Pete Rose, and now Rickey Henderson. The greatest five tool player, the hit king, and now the stolen base king. Tough year for baseball.....
Wow, just saw this on the news. Didn't realize he was 65, but still young and pneumonia listed as cause of death. . Great and complete ball player.
Maybe too much home run power for a truly old school lead-off man. But still had a +400 OBP and great base running so really hard to keep him from the lead-off spot.
I had to look it up if he was in the HOF primarily as a member of the A's or Yankees. He was great for both teams. It was the A's.
