Rickey Henderson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rickey Henley Henderson (born Rickey Nelson Henley, December 25, 1958 in
Chicago, Illinois
) is a former
Major League Baseball
left fielder
who played for nine teams from 1979 to 2003, including four stints with his original team, the
Oakland Athletics
. Nicknamed
The Man of Steal
, he is widely regarded as the sport's greatest
leadoff hitter
and
baserunner
. He holds the major league records for career
stolen bases
,
runs scored
, unintentional
walks
and leadoff
home runs
. At the time of his last major league game in 2003, the ten-time
American League
(AL)
All-Star
ranked among the sport's top 100 all-time home run hitters and was its all-time leader in
bases on balls
. In 2009, he was inducted to the
Baseball Hall of Fame
.
In addition to the career steals record, Henderson also holds the single-season record for stolen bases (130 in 1982) and is the only player in AL history to steal 100 bases in a season, having done so three times. His 1,406 career steals is 50% higher than the previous record of 938 by
Lou Brock
. Henderson holds the all-time stolen base record for two separate franchises, the Oakland A's and
New York Yankees
, and was among the league's top ten base stealers in 21 different seasons.
Henderson was named the AL's
Most Valuable Player
in 1990, and he was the leadoff hitter for two World Series champions: the
1989 Oakland A's
and the
1993 Toronto Blue Jays
. A 12-time stolen base champion, Henderson led the league in runs five times. His 25-year career elevated Henderson to the top ten in several other categories, including career
at bats
, games, and outfield
putouts
and
total chances
. His high
on-base percentage
, power hitting, and stolen base and run totals made him one of the most dynamic players of his era. He was further known for his unquenchable passion for playing baseball and a buoyant, eccentric and quotable personality that both perplexed and entertained fans.
Once asked if he thought Henderson was a future Hall of Famer, statistician
Bill James
replied, "If you could split him in two, you'd have two Hall of Famers."

Early years
Henderson was born Rickey Nelson Henley, named after singer-actor
Ricky Nelson
, to John L. and Bobbie Henley on Christmas Day, 1958, in Chicago, in the back seat of an Oldsmobile on the way to the hospital. Henderson later joked, "I was already fast. I couldn't wait.
When he was two years old, his father left home, and his family moved to
Oakland, California
when he was seven. His father died in an automobile accident ten years after leaving home. His mother married Paul Henderson in Rickey Henley's junior high school year and the family adopted the Henderson surname.
As a child learning to play baseball in Oakland, Henderson developed the ability to bat right-handed although he was a naturally left-handed thrower — a rare combination for baseball players, especially non-
pitchers
. In the entire history of Major League Baseball through the 2008 season, only 57 non-pitchers are known to have batted right and thrown left, and Henderson is easily the most successful player in this exclusive group. Henderson later said, "All my friends were right-handed and swung from the right side, so I thought that's the way it was supposed to be done.
In 1976, Henderson graduated from
Oakland Technical High School
, where he played baseball, basketball and
football
, and was an
All-American
running back
with a pair of 1,000-yard rushing seasons. He also ran
track
, but did not stay with the team as the schedule conflicted with baseball. Henderson received over a dozen scholarship offers to play football, but turned them down on the advice of his mother, who argued that football players had shorter careers. Henderson married his high-school sweetheart, Pamela. They have three children: Angela, Alexis, and Adriann
.
