Super Sky Point to Rickey Henderson, the greatest leadoff man and base stealer to ever set foot on a baseball diamond. I’m stunned. Some guys seem larger than mortality. Rickey was one of them. #RIP pic.twitter.com/CFnizuJAog

The greatest lead-off hitter in major league baseball's 150 year history. A top-tier Hall of Famer. One of the most exciting players anyone has seen. With that distinctive crouched batting stance, of which sportswriter Jim Murray wrote, "He has a strike zone the size of Hitler's heart".

Born Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson, named after Ricky Nelson. Died a baseball immortal.
