pretty ricky

this dude was one of my favorites growing up. i loved his stance and his power, oh and his speed. i modeled my game after him. i used to like willie randolph at the time i was living in nyc. so i played second base, but when i was introduce to ricky henderson and everything change. in my opinion the best lead off hitter of all-time and a top 5 player of all time. he could do it all. hit for power, draw a walk, steal 2nd,3rd and maybe home was a beast in the outfield and had a rocket arm, what more could you ask for. he was durable, almost like a clean up hitter with speed batting first. 22 seasons 14 with oakland. he is an oakland hero and legend. today was his day. no hormone crap just pure love and desire for his craft. we salute you ricky henderson. job well done bro.
