I loved Rickey as a kid. Got a chance to meet him and he was a cool guy.

RIP to the greatest lead off hitter the game has known.

[Uncle Tom Doug]

He was a great man that used his God-given thievery skills to steal bases instead of bicycles. I hope he's riding high in Heaven.

Rest in Peace, Mr. Henderson.

Greatest lead off man and unintentional comedian of all time. RIP.

That sucks, really didn't watch baseball but loved watching his highlights. 65 is too young.

That pneumonia will sneak up on you I had it in 2016 I could not move from my bed and I was sweating buckets it was a lot worse than covid. RIP

That sucks, really didn't watch baseball but loved watching his highlights. 65 is too young.

As a baseball player I learned a lot about base stealing from analysing his clips. I also learned some stuff about fielding from him.

Yeah, I was making my dad get the shot after he turned 65

 

[Enock-O-Lypse Now!]

Twins fan here and in the late 80's early 90's the A's were our rival but as a Twins fan I could appreciate Ricky's skills and entertaining persona.

I coached baseball years ago and would have my players emulate how Ricky would get his lead offs, how he would explosively push off and steal bases.

Great ball player!

Every now and again you here about how a husband and wife have been together for 40 - 50 years and as one dies, within hours or days the other goes....

Baseball left Oakland and with it went Ricky.

thanks for the memories Mr.Henderson.
