Rickey Henderson

Rickey Henderson is clearly the best leadoff man in all of Baseball history. In his 25 seasons, he has 3,055 hits, almost 300 home runs, and 1,406 stolen bases, the all-time record in the statistical category. Henderson is on of those guys that you would love on your team. If you’re the away team, he can start the game off with a bang, or a single, which makes him more valuable than any other leadoff man in the history of the game. Once Henderson got on base he was though to throw out. The best arms in the game had trouble throwing this guy out. Henderson stole more bases than anyone in the history of the game, and is more than 400 more than the person 2nd on the all-time list, which is Lou Brock. Henderson had 3 silver slugger awards, and a lifetime .279 batting average, as he hit badly late in his career. He had a Gold glove, and even won an MVP award. I appreciate all that Henderson has done for baseball, his explosiveness, his power, his fielding, and in my mind he will be considered one of the greatest of all time.
