"Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson" (born December 25, 1958) is a retired American baseball left fielder who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for nine teams from 1979 to 2003, including four stints with his original team, the Oakland Athletics. Nicknamed ""The Man of Steal"", he is widely regarded as the sport's greatest leadoff hitter and baserunning/baserunner. He holds the major league records for career stolen bases, run (baseball)/runs, unintentional base on balls/walks and leadoff home runs. At the time of his last major league game in 2003, the ten-time American League (AL) Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star ranked among the sport's top 100 all-time home run hitters and was its all-time leader in base on balls. In 2009, he was inducted to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum/Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot appearance.

One-eighty-seven. Yeah, I can still run. I haven't gotten the opportunity to continue. But, I love the game.
Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.
He can steal as many bases as he wants to. The question is whether he wants to.
I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.
