The 25 Best Rickey Henderson Stories
Mike Silva's New York Baseball Digest —
Regardless of your thoughts about Rickey Henderson, there are two indisputable facts: 1) He is a sure fire first ballot Hall of Famer and 2) He could make your scratch your head with some of his quotes.
The site Fan IQ has come up with the The Definitive Rickey Henderson: The 25 Best Stories of “Rickey Being Rickey.”
Yankees fans probably remember when Rickey was upset with his “socks” and Mets fans remember him and his poker partner, Bobby Bonilla. Fans of both teams can’t say they didn’t see the greatest leadoff hitter of all time. As a matter of fact, the 1999 Mets don’t come near the playoffs without ...

Rickey Henderson Ready To Enter The Rickey Henderson Hall Of Fame [Baseball]
Deadspin —
The Baseball Hall of Fame ballots are out and there's really only one player who seems certain to be inducted next summer—Rickey Henley Henderson. Rickey was one of the most ridiculous humans to ever play organized baseball, but Rickey was also one of the best all-around players ever and a constant source of entertainment—on and off the field—for an entire generation of fans. 100% Injury Rate created a list of the definitive Rickey moments; some of them true, some you just wish were true, and it is an entertaining look back. My favorites: 1) In June 1999, when Henderson was playing with the Mets, he saw reporters ...

I usually find the hoopla surrounding Hall of Fame entries to be kind of boring, but I have a feeling the buildup — right through the induction speech — with Rickey Henderson is going to be a lot of fun. Check out The Definitive Rickey Henderson: The 25 Best Stories of “Rickey Being Rickey.”
3) In the early 1980s, the Oakland A’s accounting department was freaking out. The books were off $1 million. After an investigation, it was determined Rickey was the reason why. The GM asked him about a $1 million bonus he had received and Rickey said instead of cashing it, he framed it and hung it on a wall at ...

Life In The Cell —
We stand (at least those on the West Coast, as I’m writing this) exactly one month away from when the BBWAA ballots are due for the Hall of Fame (January 15). I figured this was as good of a time as any to write about one of the candidates for election, Rickey Henderson.
I have a special attachment to Rickey Henderson; he was my first favorite player. I’d say in probably 1st grade he became my favorite player. Through the years a player may have momentarily jumped ahead of Rickey in my books, but he was always firmly planted in the top-3. Now as an adult I am able to look back at things without such a fickle mind, and it’s obvious to me that he ...
It's Rickey Henderson's Birthday!
SULLY BASEBALL —
I wish everyone a Happy December 25… I tend to say “Merry Christmas” but some people find that offensive. I could say “Happy Holidays” but then a whole other group will find THAT offensive. I have little patience for anyone who would take offense to EITHER greeting, but at Sully Baseball we look to find peace and harmony. So let’s all agree that on December 25 it is OK to say “Happy Rickey Henderson’s Birthday!” Rickey was pretty awesome, will probably be elected to the Hall of Fame in a few weeks and with how he was kicked around at the end of his career, chances are he played a game or two for YOUR ...
The 25 Best Rickey Henderson Stories of All Time
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
The 25 Best Rickey Henderson Stories of All Time What do you want? It’s Rickey! Not much startlingly new in here for long-time collectors of anecdotal Rickey, but a wonderful compilation. I hadn’t heard this one: 14) I didn’t believe this one at first. However, I emailed a few contacts within the Sox organization and they claim it actually happened. This is priceless, it really is. The morning after the Sox finished off their 2004 World Series sweep against St. Louis, Henderson called someone in the organization looking for tickets to Game 6 at Fenway Park. And my personal favorite… 19) During a contract holdout with Oakland in the early 1990s, Henderson ...

Instead, here's some random stuff. - Very cool list of the 25 best stories of "Rickey being Rickey" sent to me by Snacks today. God I love that guy. Guy invented "Manny being Manny", and rocked that shtick so much harder that it actively pisses me off when people even use the phrase "Manny being Manny." An MVP award and two other top three placements, career leader in runs scored and steals, second in walks (he walked more than Babe Ruth for christ's sake) and with a career on-base-percentage of .401, ...
In honor of Rickey: 25 great Rickey moments
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
Thanks to Ron Rollins, our favorite UK correspondent and proprieter of Baseball Over Here (international baseball coverage), for sending me this link to 25 Great Rickey Henderson moments. Fitting as Rickey's going into the HOF on Sunday! I can't confirm that they are all true, but they're fun nonetheless!
In June 1999, when Henderson was playing with the Mets, he saw reporters running around the clubhouse before a game. He asked a teammate what was going on and he was told that Tom Robson, the team’s hitting coach, had just been fired. Henderson said, “Who’s he?” ...

Long before Manny was being Manny, Rickey was just being Rickey.
At first glance, Rickey Henderson is the prolific leftfielder who played for nine teams in 25 seasons and became widely regarded as the sport’s greatest leadoff hitter of all time, holding the MLB records for career stolen bases, runs scored, and leadoff homeruns – the man who will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame on Sunday. ...

The Jim Rice “Ceasefire”
Center Field Gate —
There are plenty of priceless stories about Ricky Henderson — the fact that he refers to himself in the third person, that he once unblinkingly described himself as “the greatest” (via the public address system, no less), that he failed to cash a $1 million bonus check — but far fewer about Bosox great Jim Rice. Rice waited fifteen years to get into the Baseball Hall of Fame, a fact that fans of ”the Nation” view as one of baseball’s great injustices. But there are two reasons for the postponement: Rice’s career is ”right on the Cooperstown borderline,” baseball reporter Larry ...
Rickey Enters The Hall
Fack Youk —
We've already taken a look at former Yankees Joe Gordon and Tony Kubek who were honored in Cooperstown this weekend. The one remaining former Yankee to examine is easily the best of the bunch, Rickey Henderson. Henderson is best remembered for his days in Oakland, and rightfully so. But Rickey spent four and a half of Rickey's best years playing for the Yankees. The A's shipped Rickey to the Bronx after the 1984 season. It was the first of several transactions in Rickey's career, as Rickey would go on to have a 25 year career that included 13 different stints with nine different teams, including twice with the Padres and four times with the A's. The ...
