I know that there are a lot of stories but this is my favorite:

R.I.P.

One of my favorite players as a kid

I just saw this. That really sucks. RIP, Rickey. You were one of the greatest players to watch.

Hated the A's and Yankees. But always begrudgingly respected this dude. He was so good. So scary when he got on base.

 

[Genghis Khan]

Wow. RIP.

Iconic player.

I saw these rumors earlier, but just now got the ESPN confirmation. RIP, you thief. Best to ever stand on first base.

This is one of those ahtlete/celebrity deaths that stings a little. The guy was so much fun to watch and had the personality to match his game. There are so many great Rickey Henderson stories out there, told by his former teammates.

RIP Man of Steal.

He was definitely one of a kind.

Look how full those stadiums were back in the day.

Outside of the postseason, you only see crowds like this at a handful of stadiums.

It would take a couple months of games today in Oakland to match just one of those games
