There have been a lot of great articles about Rickey Henderson recently. He is headlining the 2009 HOF eligible list. There are many great Rickey stories out there and this article ranks the top 25. I was heart-broken to learn number 17 was untrue.
One story that did not make the list I remember from Baseball Tonight several years ago. I think this was around the time Henderson was retiring and HR told his favorite story. I am going to mess this up a bit but here was the basic gist.
Reynolds led the league one year with 60-some stolen bases.
He said he received a phone call from Henderson after the season.
Rickey: "Reynolds, its Rickey"
HR: "Hey Rick, what's up!"
Rickey: "60? You should be ashamed of yourself. Rickey had 60 at the break."
