Every time that I have heard his name since the mid 80s, I think of an old high school baseball teammate who is probably crushed right now. He was by far and away the biggest fan of Rickey Henderson that I have ever met. He had every card of Rickey's on display in his room, multiple posters and paid extra money to get #24. Our roster was a limit of 18 and our numbers were #1 through #18 so he asked the coaches if he could alter his #4. They said no but he could buy a blank jersey and pay to have the numbers added so he did.
Kind of odd timing as I saw this funny Will Clark/Rickey Henderson story about three days ago.

One of the comments in that link has probably my favorite Rickey quote
"Rickey don't care about no John hitting 3:16 . . . Rickey hitting .320"
Rest In Peace, Rickey. Thanks for the many memories.
