Andre Dawson on his relationship with Rickey Henderson

[@phredroq]

I've heard many fan, former baseball players, Deion Sanders, basketball HOFer Chris Mullin, etc. talk highly of Rickey. He is top 10 of all time. He is my GOAT. We miss you Rickey!

[@BurnNotice2023]

Yeah it's kinda sad, I grew up watching him and I feel like he's been overlooked the last 2 decades since he retired.

[@ShawnC.T.]

Wow, Andre "The Hawk" Dawson is a man's man, I've never seen him like this, this has surely hurt him deeply, my condolences to him...😢

[@johnnythunder196]

Yup....a great player and seems like a great guy

RICKEYS BIRTHDAY TODAY 12/25/24 MAN U WERE SPECIAL HAWK GREAT TOO CHECK OUT ANNYKIN SLAYD VIDEO THE KID CAT AND HAWK U WILL TEAR UP

[@bighouse1695]

It really speaks to the character of the person when players us fans respect give Rickey such high praise on and off the field. Andre Dawson, Dave Stewart, and Don Mattingly have all had such wonderful things to say. Those players are as highly respected as it gets. Baseball hasn’t been the same since Rickey retired.

[@Nestor123057]

One of a kind. The world will miss Rickey. I know I will.

[@basementcardcollector]

I’m just an ordinary guy collector from the 1980s and 90s. Andre Dawson is my favorite player of all time. Ricky Henderson is not too far down the list for me also. It’s just really sad and I didn’t know him as Andre did! I started collecting cards in 1989. And those guys that we collect as kids and grew up into adulthood you feel like you know them in a weird way.This was great on a very sad topic. Thanks for sharing.

[@RobAttridge]

Dawson total class act

[@basementcardcollector]

@ 100%!

[@josephval4083]

Rickey may be the most underrated player of All time

[@jude999]

That would be Dawson.

[@smokey5100]

We'll miss you Rickey 💚 Oakland A's Forever!!!

[@RyanSperanzella]

The somber tone in The Hawks voice just made me weep. Great player and even better human being. Rest In Peace Man Of Steel! 💚

[@tommayrant2279]

RIP Rickey. Hawk's signature is beautiful!

[@Savi80]

I remember wanting those green mizuno batting gloves he used in Oakland RIP #24

[@RyanSperanzella]

Those lime green Mizuno gloves were the sh*t even though I was and still am an Orioles fan. 💚

[@Darren-xj7fg]

I watched some of Rickey play and Andre. I use to watch Cubs on tv some when Andre played, a good home run hitter. Rip, Rickey.

[@RyanSperanzella]

Rest In Peace Man Of Steel. Baseball needs more athletes, competitors and stylish entertainers like you. 💚

[@MA_808]

I remember what he did to Toronto in the playoffs. It was pure torment.

[@laconfidential8504]

Rest In Paradise Rickey 🙏💚

[@MikeOToole-bn8on]

2024 lost two great #24's Mays and Rickey RIP

[@timr135]

And the Hit King #14!

[@hotpiegravy2347]

2 of my all-time favorites.

[@rayanderson7074]

Was sooo happy billy got him to the Yankees….

[@nicolas4you]

Top leadoff hitter of all-time and maybe Top twenty all around player of all time!

[@N1120A]

Top 20 is an insult.

[@tonylvez]

He scored the most runs all time top 9

[@Cynsham]

I would say easily top 10

[@jude999]

Andre Dawson best player I ever saw.

[@daviddeconinck499]

[@Sayres434]

[@luckap79]

Run in peace Mr Henderson !

[@wgsuperstar7730]

"The Hawk" loved Rickey. Also so did "The Goose", "The Ryno" and "The blue jays"

[@allencollins6031]

Gossage?

[@jamaalshabazz6348]

RIP Ricky Henderson

[@sheawhitey5009]

If ANDRE DAWSON WOULD OF PLAYED ON NATURAL GRASS HIS WHOLE CAREER. HE WOULD OF PUT UP WAY BETTER NUMBERS PLAYING IN THE COLD & ASTROTURF. KILLED AT LEAST 5-7 YEARS OFF OF PRODUCTION.

[@jeremiahlesleawilder5329]

Hell Of a ball Player and a role model RIP sir

[@common_sense1512]

You get to make a team - who you starting with ? There are so many Great 3,4, and 5 hitters. Me - I'm gonna go with #1 - and he is Rickey !!! And right after that I'm taking Tony Gwynn at #2. The next 3 hitters, whoever they are ...

[@duewhit310]

Taking Rickey is adding a run to every game. Cant argue with that

[@tcdahn7]

I agree. The rest of my lineup would be, Shohei Ohtani, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Johnny Bench, Ozzy Smith, Ryne Sandberg, and Derek Jeter. I used to put bonds in Shohei's spot, but 50/50 and a pitcher is hard not to start.

[@common_sense1512]

@@tcdahn7 3 is Ted Williams at 1st, (Rickey left Tony right), 4 is Mantle in Center, 5 is Schmidt at 3rd, 6 is Fisk since you took Bench, 7 is Robbie Alomar at 2nd, 8 is big game Ripken at short, and 9 is Bob Gibson pitching - it would be a Great game !

[@tcdahn7]

@@common_sense1512 I wanted Fisk but I felt like I was too stuck in my time for the infield. You did great for an after draft. Baseball is easy that way. It's truly timeless. I think Carlton Fisk and Bob Gibson are the most underrated Baseball Players of all time...Bob Gibson did benefit from a great infield, but he was the captain when he was on the mound...However, I think Rhino, the Wizard, and Captain Clutch can shut the Rickey Rally down... Then again Pudge used to be good at throwing Rickey out....

[@markedwards9153]

I hope somebody up there will celebrate his 6th birthday with him 😢

[@jamesbowman8138]

They both have career batting averages of .279 what hurt hawk was his few bad years he played hurt ,and that impacted his career average which was more like a .285 Rickey played along time that hurt his career average

[@tonywright282]

On my all time Major League Baseball Team my 1st team outfield is: LF Hank Aaron, CF Willie Mays, RF Reggie Jackson, my 2nd team outfield is: LF Ricky Henderson, CF Willie McGee, RF Andre Dawson

[@allencollins6031]

"Ricky gone." 🕊

[@normbatchelor7403]

Billy Ball has passed, RIP.

[@sky1hawk988]

Dang.
