I remember when Rickey was the MBP.

I still don't know what MBP means though.

Best Rickey Henderson story of all time:

quote:

"During his first go-round with the San Diego Padres, he was looking for a seat on the team bus and teammate Steve Finley said, "Sit anywhere you want, you got tenure." "Ten years? What are you talking about? Rickey got 16, 17 years."

Is this the spawn of someone saying Kenny Lofton is better than Ken Griffey Jr. from the other day?

Henderson maintained that number over a 25 year career

Alcides Escobar...

Only hitter ever to hit the first pitch of the World Series or an inside the park HR and master of the "Ambush" (swinging at every first pitch ever, even if it bounces a foot in front of the plate)

Henderson just walked 2,000 times because pitching sucked when he played.

Meanwhile Ichiro hit a stand up triple.

slapping singles is not the greatest leadoff hitter of all-time, especially when the real greatest leadoff hitter of all-time would be on fricking 2nd base instead of 1st with no outs either by a double or a steal.

Everyone who watched the game, minus Bill James tards, knows this.

League wide walk rate in 1990 (Rickey’s best year)- 8.6%

League wide walk rate in 2004 (Ichiro’s best year)- 8.6%

League wide walk rate last year- 8.5%
