Ricky Henderson unsigned photo
Former A's and Yankees OF Rickey Henderson is Major League Baseball's career leader in runs (overtaking Ty Cobb in 2001), stolen bases and walks (beating out the Babe in '01). Considered one of the greatest leadoff hitters in baseball history, Rickey made his major league debut with the Oakland A's in 1979. One of only a handful of ballplayers to play in the majors in four different decades, Rickey played in his 24th major league season in 2003. A 10-time All-Star, Gold Glove winner in 1981, and the AL MVP in 1990, Rickey did it all in his career, including playing in five post-seasons. He won World Series rings with the A's and Blue Jays and made the playoffs with the Padres, Mets and Mariners. But mostly, what Rickey did was steal bases...A LOT of them. Rickey Henderson is the most prolific base stealer in baseball history, with 1,406 over his career - 468 (almost 50%!) more than runner-up Lou Brock. It was on May 1, 1991, that Henderson broke one of baseball's most famous records when he stole the 939th base of his career, one more than Lou Brock. This shadowbox framing celebrates this memorable baseball moment with a photo of Rickey's celebration, hand-signed official MLB baseball, and commemorative plaque. All framed in thick black wood, UV-protective glass, and classic A's suede matting. |
