Harold Reynolds spun some hilarious Rickey Henderson stories at the Concordia College Baseball Dinner on January 30, 2015. "Rickey always talks in the third person." www.baseballhappenings.net / examinebaseball
@captain scentsible39 Since Bo and Deion played football both of them have on record their 40 yard dash numbers. It would definitely be interesting to see guys when they were in their primes like Rickey, Kenny Lofton, Vince Coleman, Billy Hamilton, Tim Raines what their 40 yard dash times would be. Or even bette their 90 foot/30 yard dash times would be since thats the distance of each base.
love it, harold spins a great yarn, rickey is one of a kind, love the documentary about henderson where (i forget who) explains rickey as "genius" on the diamond, never made mistakes, played like he was always one step ahead of everyone else, when asked about rickey's odd way of speaking and how he communicated with people, he said "genius" sometimes isn't easily explained. touche.
Favorite Rickey stories: This is Rickey calling for Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball Rickey sitting in the back of the bus. Rickey, you can sit in front, you have have tenure. Tenure? I’ve been in the league 15 years And the A’s front office discovers that their books are $1m off bc Rickey framed his signing bonus.
