A flashy player known for his head-first slides, "snatch catches" and prancing home run trots, Henderson has been a fan favorite everywhere he's played, and one of the game's all-time greats despite accusations of selfishness and ego. Bouncing from team-to-team, Henderson spent four different stretches with the Oakland A's, with whom he won a World Series title in 1989. In that Series he hit .474 with four extra-base hits and three steals to instigate a sweep of the Giants. Henderson is the all-time leader in walks, steals, and runs scored, and collected his 3,000th hit, in 2001.

Complete list of Rickey's managers:
Jim Marshall (1979), Billy Martin (1980-1982, 1985, 1988), Steve Boros (1983-1984), Jackie Moore (1984), Yogi Berra (1985), Lou Piniella (1986-1988, 2000), Bucky Dent (1989), Dallas Green (1989), Tony LaRussa (1989-1993, 1994-1995), Cito Gaston (1993), Bruce Bochy (1996-1997, 2001), Terry Collins (1997), Art Howe (1998), Bobby Valentine (1999-2000), Grady Little (2002), Jim Tracy (2003)

Wrong-Handed
Early in his career, Henderson explained why he's a left-handed thrower but a right-handed hitter, the oddest combination in baseball history:

"All the other kids playing around me were batting right-handed, so that's the way I thought you were supposed to do it, so that's what I did, too. At one point, I wanted to be a switch-hitter and try the left side, but I was hitting .300, .350 in the minors, and they (the A's) wouldn't let me do it."

For the Birds
On July 6, 1984, in the second game of a doubleheader against the Brewers in Milwaukee, Henderson, playing for the New York Yankees, hit a routine fly to center. Brewers' centerfielder Rick Manning camped under the ball and then suddenly lunged forward to reach for the ball, which he caught just before it came to the ground. Henderson's fly ball had struck a bird, killing it. For the rest of the game, Brewer's fans taunted Henderson in left field, flapping their arms and calling him a "bird killer."

QUOTE ABOUT
“But it wasn't until I saw Rickey that I understood what baseball was about. Rickey Henderson is a run, man. That's it. When you see Rickey Henderson, I don't care when, the score's already 1-0. If he's with you, that's great. If he's not, you won't like it.” — A's teammate Mitchell Page
