Kurtenbach: The Greatest Rickey Henderson's death is the true end of baseball in Oakland
Briefly

from www.mercurynews.com1 month ago
It's nearly too much to bear... for Oakland to lose its greatest son the man who perfectly encapsulated the excellence and swagger of The Town as well? That's just downright unfair.

Rickey Henderson, the Man of Steal, who appropriately told the world after setting baseball's stolen base record that he was the greatest of all time, died on Saturday. He was 65 years old.

The incredible stats don't tell the story of Rickey Henderson. No, it was the character of Rickey - the one that forced the man to refer to himself in the third person - that made him beloved.

Henderson wasn't always beloved. With his braggadocio leading the way anywhere he went, he was hardly a celebrated figure in baseball during the 1980s.
