How Rickey Henderson Became a Baseball Legend

[@StarkRavingSports]

Rest in Peace, Rickey Henderson

[@grimeypipes2765]

Eric mourns, and as a tribute, will refer to himself in the 3rd person for 24 hours.

[@spg1026]

I just heard the news and having watched this video many times I am going to again in tribute to Rickey! RIP

[@rolyrod69]

Good video topic to consider: “Players who never played in the minors”

[@redtailpunk]

slowly falling back in love with baseball after 15-20 years here. i came across this video a couple months ago and would be lying if i said it was no small push to remind me how great the game can be. came back here to thank you for helping me remember. RIP Rickey. 1 in a million

[@PensFan35]

‘I started hitting more home runs when I learned how to hit home runs’ is probably one of my favorite baseball quotes ever

[@kushclarkkent6669]

😂

[@cageluke]

It’s funny as yes, he learned how to do it…his focus was on hits and steals. Not the long ball… but once he began to focus..he cranked them. Rickey good..real, real good.

[@Tramatik48]

Steroids didn't help😅

[@AndThatsBaseball]

The fact that he broke the steal record barely halfway though his career is just insane

[@Kourumeme]

Predicting a team will use moneyball to focus on plate disclipine, on base percentage and of course how many steals or how fast a player can wreck havoc on bases.

[@commiehunter733]

Rickey hadmore stolen bases than entire teams!!!!

[@pohorex6834]

@@Kourumeme stealing bases is the opposite of moneyball and stealing hurts more than it helps.

[@Kourumeme]

@@pohorex6834 oh. Well I know the white Sox in 2005 used posednik as a speed demon to tear up bases

[@paysonfox88]

The fact that Nolan Ryan struck him out over 10 times in his career is insane. Nolan Ryan actually got Ricky Henderson two times in one game, and the second time he struck out Ricky was number 5,000 for his career. Nolan Ryan did not have enough superlatives when he was describing Rickey Henderson as a ball player. Nolan said Ricky is everything you want in the baseball player

[@duboisstewart8265]

I hope Rickey henderson sees this video to know how much he is appreciated. He's completely right about people's fascination with home runs. This man dominated the league with his speed and plate discipline, should be the true role model for future generations

[@goodquestion1105]

In the early to mid 90's his baseball cards were treated as almost common which I always found strange from a record breaker who had won two World Series rings with two teams. Maybe because it was Oakland and Toronto, and of course home runs being so important *yawn* even Brady fn Anderson was popping 50+ into the seats

[@CorePathway]

He was a terror.

[@Wallyworld30]

I played baseball for Little League and High School from 86-94 and stealing bases was my exciting thing about baseball to me. Rickey Henderson and Vince Coleman were the 2 funnest players to watch IMO. I could hit for contact and was fast but I was 6ft tall and 145lbs I wasn't hitting any homeruns. Rickey Henderson actually hit more leadoff homeruns than any other player in MLB history.

[@danballe]

Well said

[@Jeff-sp7bg]

Every baseball card in the 90s was common

[@alexseradj3003]

I had the honor of seeing Rickey collect his 3000th hit live at Tony Gwynn’s last game and when he held up that bat plaque even at 6 years old I knew I was seeing something truly special. What an absolute legend!

[@ethanniedorowski116]

He was good for his time but he didn’t go through the best evolution. Athletes of today have bigger, faster and stronger evolutions inside their bodies which Rickey never had because of the year he was born in. That’s just facts.

[@ndrocca]

I’m not even done watching this video, but this has already become my go-to video in what to point to if people ask why Rickey Henderson is my favourite baseball player and why he is one of my favourite athletes ever.

[@15allnite]

This was VERY well done! As many others have stated, Rickey is my favorite player all-time. So when someone takes the time to show just how incredible a player he was, I have to watch. I’m glad I did, too. The game has just not been the same since he left it.

I heard the tenure story a little differently. He was sitting in Tony Gwynn's seat on the base and someone said "that's Tony's seat, he's got tenure." To which Rickey replied "Rickey got 20 year." Either way Rickey stories are the stuff of legend.

[@fromulus]

In a Red Sox fan, have been since age 11 in 1990. It was an honor to watch Rickey for that one year. He was old and so far past his prime, but he's literally baseball, like the other greats. Ted Williams was pure baseball, Mays, Brock, Musial, all of the absolute legends, they all personify the game in one way or another, Rickey's right there. It's just in his bones.

[@SuperStrik9]

As a Blue Jays fan Rickey was a great addition to the 93 team. Winning back to back World Series was a great accomplishment and something I'll remember for the rest of my life.

[@matthewseed3386]

He really was the greatest of all time. I was lucky enough to get to meet him. I was a cook in Seattle when he came to the restaurant I asked his server to allow me to serve him. I told Rickey he was my hero and right then his face was on the TV right over my head. A magical moment. Good times.

[@Sicknowledge01]

Your videos are already awesome but please do more videos in a format like this. Just focusing on one specific player every year throughout their career in detail. This is absolutely amazing. This channel deserves more subs

[@Jason-cf1xn]

Great video man. It’s funny to me how people say, “of course he’s got this record, he played for almost 30 years”. What they forget is that he broke that steal record In fewer seasons than Brock did. Honestly, I don’t know if his steal record will ever be broken. Dude was for real.

[@hamnertime]

Great documentary about one of the all-time baseball greats! Just like Rickey raised the bar on stolen bases, you’ve raised the bar on baseball documentaries. Very, very enjoyable and very, very well done.

[@neilzientek]

Came back to this video this morning upon hearing of his passing. Thank you for making such a great documentary about Henderson.

[@seanc2213]

Rickey Henderson is by far my favorite baseball player of all time. It was a pleasure to watch him play.

[@Indigenoustaino]

This is a great example of what a real legend is. There are many legends in baseball and then there is Mr Henderson a true legend of all time. Thank you for making baseball what it should always be.. Exciting and fun for everyone of all ages.

[@badbrizzle]

Thank you for making the video. Ricky is my all-time favorite player and a lot of people don’t even realize how much he’s accomplished. It makes me sick that he didn’t make the all century team I think he is probably in the top five best players in major league baseball history

[@thelastmanonearth2631]

Rickey and Ichiro are the two ball players that I think get frequently overlooked just because they didn't hit a lot of home runs. But they might be the two best all around baseball players of all time. Thanks for the video, this was a great way to spend an hour!

[@jimsteele4489]

Thank you for making this video. What a fitting and touching tribute. There will NEVER be another lead-off hitter like Ricky ever ever again. Value what you have while you have it because nothing lasts forever.

[@manarmsgaming9223]

This is genuinely one of the great KZbin videos ever made. There are many in that category, but its safe to say that right now, this is the greatest of all time 😁

[@brianarbenz1329]

Thank you for educating me about Ricky. I had figured he was just a great base stealing machine. A lot of others did as well, I guess. That’s why he is underrated. Fans think long ball too much. Ricky is great at all aspects of the offensive game. Like no one else.

[@ronaldheron7784]

I was born in the 60's and had the pleasure of seeing some of the greatest ballplayers who ever played the game. Let me tell you this, Rickey Henderson was one of the greatest I ever saw. Always exciting, and never disappointed. Whenever he came up to bat, you just knew something was gonna happen.

[@necrosion9789]

Rickey Henderson was one of my idols as a child. He pushed me to want to be a better ball player, and to learn to be a better base runner. I miss his style of play, and the running game, in general. He is definitely one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and extremely underrated, especially how the sport is today. You did an a great job on this video, thanks for sharing!!!

Welp, I'm 40 years old this year and I've been a huge sports fan my whole life and watched a heck of a lot of videos, documentaries, statistics, you name it. THIS is my favorite one I've ever watched. EVER. What a fantastic job you did here putting this together and all the clips, interviews, highlights, accolades, etc... It was a pleasure to see and was sad it had to end even after an hour of Ricky. When I was a kid I was a big fan of the A's with the Bash Brothers and McGwire/Canseco coming into the league and you pair those two up with a guy like Ricky who is always on base!!! It was like breaking up Kobe and Shaq but there was 2 Shaqs lol! Really makes you wonder what could have been if they didn't break the team apart dammit. I was too young at the time to realize all the records that Ricky was setting along the way but I certainly can now. Great job man, I tip my cap to you my friend.

My favorite Rickey Henderson story isn't true, but is totally believable. The story goes that late in his career Rickey was trying to find a team to pick him up and he called the GM in San Diego and left a message. The message was "This is Rickey, calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey needs a job."

Awesome video. Rickey has always been my favorite player. I still consider him the all time walk leader- not because Bonds cheated, but Rickey did it with skill. Rickey has 2129 all time unintentional walks to Bonds 1870. As informative, detailed, and well researched this was, how on Earth do you not tell the John Olerud helmet story?!

[@ndrocca]

Unfortunately, that John Olerud story isn’t real. Both Rickey and John have said this. However, both have admitted that they wish it was true which I think is almost as good.

[@Johnnynix52]

Damn, I didn't know the A's named their field after him. That's awesome!! He needs more attention brought to his accomplishments, though. He played the game the right way.

[@SanFranFan30]

Great story about Mac Suzuki, he was expelled from high school in Japan so his parents set him off to the US to get a job without knowing english at the age of 16, somehow he found his way into working as a laundry boy for a non-affiliated Class-A minor league team the Salinas Spurs and they say what the heck and let him pitch for 1 inning in the final game of the 1992 season. Off of that he was able to gain a full season contract for 1993 with another non-affiliated Class-A minor league team in the San Bernardino Spirit at the age of just 18, where he stood out as a closer. Off that season he was able to catch the attention of MLB scout and he signed with the Mariners and worked his way up the system by 1996 to become the third Japanese born player ever to make it to the MLB and the very first to ever play in the American League. He is one of the rare Japanese born players who played in the MLB before ever touching NPB. Additional story, I now own the exact glove he is wearing in the headshot photo they use on Baseball-Reference from his time with the Royals.

[@paysonfox88]

I still like the time he beat the Blue Jays all by himself. He's one of the few batters that you can't contain by walking him. In game one against the great Dave Steib, he manufactured two runs out of thin air. A walk, and a takeout slide resulting in runs scored.

I’m just a bum who never made it any further than a short stop in a little league championship, but the one thing I always did would take walks because the pitchers had no control. Then steal 2nd.

Very good video; well done. I first saw Rickey in 1980 at Oakland. He was in left and literally about maybe 20 to 30 from the infield. I told my friend he was playing way too shallow. He said, "You think so?" I'm like he's practically at shortstop! They were playing the Yankees and the hitter smashed a line drive and I'm like yup that's over his head, he's way too shallow. Then Rickey turns on a dime; runs blazingly fast towards the fence and leaps up and grabs the ball like a wide receiver but it was a frozen rope line drive and tumbles about 10 feet and has the ball. I grew up watching Willie Mays play and I knew right then that this is a special player.

Great video. I grew up in the Bay Area and was a 6 year old boy watching Rickey come up. Our family had season tix and I was fortunate to get to throw out the first pitch in 1990 for my Bday, against the Yankees in front of a sold out crowd. Anyway, getting back to this video which I had to stop because I wanted to save it and make my daughter watch it with me. She came home the other day and asked why I was crying, she has only seen that maybe twice in her life, through all the death in our family, which we have had a lot the last few years, seeing my A’s leave, and the memories that I shared with my older brother who is no longer with us, my pops who died the same month as he did, our mom who passed shortly after, and my little sister who passed this year, I believe that I held a lot of that in and on Thursday of this week 2024 it came flooding out. I’ll never forget where I was when I saw Rickey for the first time and I fell in love with this team and its cast of characters. Rickey being my favorite by far. Thank you for the video, I suppose even though I won’t have my A’s in Oakland, and be able to take my little girl to the games and tell her stories of her uncle and I taking Bart as teenagers and spending all day at that beautiful coliseum, I know some people hated it.

[@jasenlarsen3865]

The player most similar to Rickey Henderson with all of the Runs Scored, Stolen Bases, and On Base Percentage was Billy Hamilton from the late 1800s and early 1900s. He stole 100 bases in a season 4 times in his career, is #3 all time in stole bases, is #28 in runs scored (he only played 14 seasons), he walked 100+ times 5 times, and holds the MLB record for most runs scored in 1 season with 198! That's the closest comparison I can find to him as a player. Great video. Rickey is an absolute legend, and was a lot of fun to watch play. Keep up the good work on the videos!

[@rc1267]

Those late 80s A's teams with Canseco,McGwire, Henderson,Henderson,Stewart,Eckersley etc were so fun to watch. Probably still my favorite team to watch ever even with the offensive explosion of the 90s and early 00s. With Ricky and the Bash Brothers coming up never wanted to miss a pitch. Canseco might be the most exciting strike out of all time. Even when he did if it wasn't looking the violence of the swing alone was still exciting he tried to absolutely kill the ball with every swing. The attitude of the team was great. Stewart with his low hat and intimidating stare. Ricky and his little ticks and mannerisms with the iconic neon green Mizuno batting gloves. Shame they only pulled 1 title out of 88 89 and 90 seasons. Even then the year they won it I remember watching Canseco cross home plate then the screen started shaking and went black. Giant earthquake while playing the Giants in the Series. Year prior up in the bottom of the 9th an injured Kirk Gibson hobbles up and hits a walk off home run setting the tone for the entire series. If he doesn't hit that there's a good chance the series goes a different way. Anyway the point is even when they lost it there was still a crazy historic moment involved. Loved that team. Dave Parker, Walt Weiss, Carney Langford, Terry Steinbach, Mike Moore, Bob Welch on top of others I already mentioned.

You got a new fan today Mr. Rickey Henderson. I had heard you were good, but now I understand that you're the best. Utmost respect for your closing line Hall of Fame speech. The G.O.A.T. - no doubt.

As a Jays fan, we were super excited to have him and recognized the effect he had on opposition regardless of his poor play.
