Widely regarded as the greatest lead-off hitter in the history of Major League Baseball, Rickey Henderson redefined the position with his electrifying blend of speed, power, and plate discipline. Over a remarkable 25-season career that spanned from 1979 to 2003, Henderson established himself as the sport's all-time leader in stolen bases with an astounding 1,406 and runs scored with 2,295, records that are considered by many to be unbreakable. A dynamic offensive force, he was a ten-time All-Star, the 1990 American League MVP, and a two-time World Series champion. Henderson's unique, crouched batting stance and keen eye resulted in a staggering 2,190 career walks, and his surprising power is evidenced by his record 81 lead-off home runs. He played for nine different teams, most notably the Oakland Athletics in four separate stints, but his impact was felt across the league, forever changing the way the game was played from the very first at-bat. His flamboyant personality and unmatched confidence made him one of the most exciting and memorable players to ever grace a baseball diamond, culminating in his first-ballot induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009.
