Rickey Henderson will tell you when Rickey Henderson has died. And Rickey Henderson will only have died because there was nothing left for Rickey Henderson to have.

Bigger things in life to worry about but it’s sad there are “reports” on a guys death like that. Let the family announce it however they want if it’s true. What is the benefit of scooping that

Sad news if true. Real legend of the sport.

Completely agree. Let the family have their peace in being able to announce it in a way that puts respect on the deceased

If true that is a major bummer. I loved the A's back in the day.

A’s leaving Oakland killed the man.

Seriously tho, I hope this isn’t true. Would be terrible news and right before Christmas.

My first ever MLB game was in Oakland.

Rickey led the game off with a bomb.

My favorite player of all time.

If Rickey is indeed deceased, I blame John Fisher.

Guy retired like two years ago. He had incredible longevity, stealing bases well into his 40s.

The Yankees put up a tribute every Opening Day for Yankees who died in the past year.

Yogi Berra once said "I hope I don't see my name up there".

Rickey was a standout at Oakland Tech in baseball and football. He was actually recruited by Barry Switzer, but Rickey’s
mom didn’t want him to play college football.

Oakland Tech has sent 18 players to MLB, which is probably still a record. Oakland Tech also produced Marshawn Lynch and a guy named Clint Eastwood. Rickey was a clean liver who didn’t drink or use drugs.

Steinbrenner had ties to UF and would bring the Yankees to UF each year to play an exhibition game. One year someone stole Henderson's cleats. When asked about it he said, "Someone stole Ricky's shoes."
