My favorite Rickey anecdote is a shocker, if you know his character. At the end of the 2001 season, he found himself on the Padres, and he offered to bench himself for the final game of the season because he entered this day with 2,999 career hits and he didn't want to upstage teammate Tony Gwynn's retirement. But Gwynn declined & encouraged Rickey to play, and in fact Rickey got the hit. It's one of only a couple moments in MLB history where two players on the same team both had 3,000 hits.

[@mchavez5335]

And we still couldn’t win a thing lol

[@markb20]

Great story. And while Ricky did the classy thing, Gwynn acted like he always did- putting others and the team ahead of himself. Amazing player, amazing person.

[@StuMarston]

When Rickey was with the Mets he was John Olerud's teammate. Olerud always wore a batting helmet in the field. One day Rickey says to Oledrud when he played in Toronto there was also a guy who wore a batting helmet in the field. Olerud was like that was me Rickey. We were on the same team in Toronto.

I was 10 years old in 1990, so I can remember him pretty well. He was a player that had a massive ego, talked himself up all the time, and relished in his own accomplishments. BUT....he never came off as a jerk. He never put anyone down. People loved him. He was so weird in addition to being a world class athlete and showman. When he stood there and said "Today, I am the greatest of all time." It was just funny, no one was like "What an asshole".

I am honored to have met Mr. Henderson in 2003 when I was 10 years old while he was playing for the Newark Bears. I was on the 3rd base line in the front row not too far from the 3rd base coach. I got lucky twice. First time I was able to reach over and nab a foul ball he hit and then a few innings later after making the final out of the inning he came over and handed me the ball, shook my hand, and said "how's it going kid". I'll always remember it...... On a side note I also got to see Jose Canseco's brother Ozzie who was also playing independent league ball at the time.

[@danielreyes9129]

He’s my favorite player of all time. Wish I was old enough to been able to see him play in the 90s but man I always love learning more about him! As a huge A’s fan & Bay Area native Rickey is an absolute legend. If you haven’t, read Rickey it’s a great book about his life & his legendary career!

[@thejamnasium6447]

the fact he played so aggressively for a quarter century is the craziest part

[@ryanr5648]

He is quite possibly the greatest baseball player of all time. I don't understand why he is generally not in that discussion. The game is based on scoring more runs than the other team while playing solid defense with good ptiching being the agreed upon recipe for winning. He is no question the greatest base stealer and greatest lead off hitter ever. He was solid on defense (3rd most purouts as an OF), and produced runs almost at will in his many prime years. Along with his longevity (the oldest player in the league in 2002),(4th all time in games played) and had HR power to boot...he was the greatest. If he had not been hurt in 1987 he would have led the league in stolen bases ten years in a row. He averaged 74 stolen bases per full season and did that for twenty years....and who is going to ever lead the league in SB at age 39 again? One of the absolute greatest athletes of all time.

[@bobdole4916]

One of the neat things about Ricky is that his longevity was in part due to how he trained. He would do the workout regiment of an NFL wide receiver - since it not only built up strength on top of keeping speed, it also built up durability. He and Jerry Rice would train together in the off-season.

[@williamwillis9723]

one stat of rickey's that is truly amazing is that in 1985, he scored more than 1 run per game, 146 in 143. something not accomplished since 1937 by joltin' joe. to put this into context, before 1937 , 7 players accomplished this,( elite for the time period, but still, more common than today's standards , akin to hittin .400 )led by the babe who did it 6 times and the iron horse twice. a-rod once missed by 5, bagwell missed by 8, and the splendid splinter was within 10, 3 times. unique, rare , and at times utterly hilarious, the man of steal will never be caught up with, he is the gingerbread man, but with a happier ending.

[@marcoslaureano5562]

GREAT BREAKDOWN!! Rickey has a STRONG CASE for calling himself the all-around GOAT of baseball. Name everything a baseball GOAT should possess and Rickey had it in abundance. I remember when he was nearly 40 - he came to play for the Mets in '99 and we had a GREAT team on the field that year - possibly one of the top ten infields of all time. If we'd had a great pitching staff we could have taken on the Yankees head to head, NO doubt. Anyway - Rickey appeared in about 120 games for us and had around 430 at bats. So playing basically part-time and at 40 years old - he hit 30 doubles, 12 HRs, stole 37 bases, hit .315, walked 82 times, had an OBP of .423 and an OPS+ of 128. Not bad for a 40 year old part time outfielder. And the year before that, at 39 years old he led the NL with 66 stolen bases and also led the league in walks - so I don't know what you mean by Rickey being resurgent with the Mets. Oh and I'm writing this comment before I watch the video because growing up in NY I got see Rickey play A LOT. So much so that he became my favorite player. He was a JOY to watch. Rickey was born too early. He would have been THE BIGGEST STAR IN BASEBALL (and maybe all of sports) during THIS era where his flashiness and bravado (which somehow made him even more likable, a rare trait) - and not to mention his pure JOY for the game, would have been truly appreciated. If someone tells me they think Rickey is the greatest player ever - I wouldn't necessarily agree 100% - but I wouldn't argue or debate with them either. Because Rickey has just as strong a case as any player in the MLB GOAT debate has.

They should do a video on his batting stance alone. There was a reason he drew so many walks, he would be crouched so low during the pitchers wind up, and then when the pitch would come he would stand straight up and it would look like a ball every time. There was a certain gamesmanship to it.

I loved watching Rickey play. But, I was a National League fan, so Ozzie Smith was my all-time favorite player, and Tim Raines was my favorite lead-off man (he hit .293 right-handed and .294 left-handed). Back in the 70's and 80's, we used to play a game called "Hot Box". I would always dive like Rickey Henderson and Ozzie Smith. I love everything about the stolen base....the base-runner, the catcher, and the guy making the tag.

Top 10 greatest baseball players ever

[@snerdterguson]

There's a good argument that he is. He's 14th all time in WAR so at worst, he's top 15. Of players I watched, very few I would put over him. Griffey was on the way but injuries hurt him on the back end. Pujols had one of the greatest decades any player ever had to start their career. Ichiros might have been above him had he played his whole career in MLB. I will take Mariano Rivera over him because as big a gap as there is between Rickey and whoever is the second best leadoff/base stealer is, the gap between Rivera and the next best reliever is so huge it shouldn't even be called a gap. Its like a galaxy between him and number two. Trout might be the greatest I've ever seen, we will have to see how he ends his career. But I think that's it. Maybe Gwynn? I mean, the dude could have gone hitless in around 1,200 ABs and still been a career .300 hitter. And there are some guys who I think had stretches where they were better, like Wade Boggs run from 82-89 where he batted between .325 and over .360, he multiple times walked 100+ and got 200+ hits. One year, he had 214 hits, 125 walks and only struck out 34 times.

Rickey Henderson deserves to be mentioned in the top 10 players of all-time! Think about it: he finished his career with 468 MORE stolen bases than the man in 2nd place, Lou Brock. He's the all-time leader in runs scored and leadoff HR's. His career on-base pct is .401. He was very confident, for sure...he would tell you how great he was 😂. Truth is: he was as great as he said he was. Special talent, tremendous physical condition, much love for the game, etc... Rickey Henderson was must see, period...1,406 career stolen bases, stands out...in 1982, he was 130/172 in stolen bases! He loved the game so much, that he was still playing at 44/45 years old (and, with a couple of minor league teams)- that shows he didn't want to give the game up. To those who didn't to see Rickey play, that's why KZbin is the best - watch that man play, you won't be disappointed.
