was born on Christmas Day
in 1958
For 25 years
as a Major League
Baseball player,
he reeked
havoc, heroism
humor and hellfire
like no one before him
or anyone
after him
His career began
in Oakland
and he died there
two days ago

| Rest In Peace, Mr. Henderson |

RICKY once said
ReplyDelete"My Favorite hero was Muhammed Ali"
That was a half-truth:
His other favorite hero was none other than
RICKY HENDERSON
With the mega-talents that he had,
it was impossible to not have
a mega-sized ego
-Oliverio
One of his "mega-talents" was stealing bases
ReplyDeleteand no one—in the history of baseball—
ever stole more bases.
RICKY HENDERSON was indeed The Man Of Steal.
