Beat leadoff hitter ever

If you are putting together an all time TEAM, it is hard to argue he doesn’t start for you in left. Not saying he is a top 3 OFer ever, but the fact that he is the best lead off hitter BY A MILE puts him at least in the discussion

He put so much pressure on the pitcher. I have him as the 3rd best LF ever, but there was no one better at the top of the lineup

Certainly not the best base stealer.

Donald Trump holds that prize

I enjoyed watching Henderson, It's a shame,

and to think Keith Richards is still living

This sucks.

Place and time.

This is neither.

This is neither.

You mean a bad joke? Ok maybe a Liiiiitle out of place.

It’s not hard to keep all that in the PF.

 

[Albuquerque Rams]

RIP to the all-time leader in stolen bases. That record is unlikely to ever be broken.

There's as many great Rickey stories as there are Larry Bird trash talk stories. I love this one
