At the time of his last major league game in 2003, the ten-time American League (AL) All-Star ranked among the sport’s top 100 all-time home run hitters and was its all-time leader in base on balls.

At a press conference two days after his election, the 50-year-old Henderson told reporters, “I believe today, and people say I’m crazy, but if you gave me as many at-bats that you would give the runners out there today, I would outsteal every last one of them … they can always ring my phone and I’ll come on down and help their ballclub, that’s how much I love the game.”

His long MLB career spans from 1979 to 2003. He was a member of nine teams, and won the World Series Championships in 1989 with the Oakland Athletics and 1993 with Toronto Blue Jays.
Henderson was born on Christmas Day 1958 in Chicago, Illinois, in the back seat of an Oldsmobile on the way to the hospital. He was named Rickey Nelson Henley, after singer-actor Ricky Nelson, and is the son of John L. Henley and Bobbie Henley. Henderson later joked, “I was already fast. I couldn’t wait.” When he was two years old, his father left home, and his family moved to Oakland, California, when he was seven. His father died in an automobile accident 10 years after leaving home. His mother married Paul Henderson in Rickey Henley’s junior year of high school and the family adopted the Henderson surname. As a child learning to play baseball in Oakland, Henderson developed the ability to bat right-handed although he was a naturally left-handed thrower—a rare combination for baseball players, especially non-pitchers. In the entire history of Major League Baseball through the 2008 season, only 57 position players are known to have batted right and thrown left, and Henderson is easily the most successful player to do so. Henderson later said, “All my friends were right-handed and swung from the right side, so I thought that’s the way it was supposed to be done.”

Henderson was drafted by the Oakland Athletics in the fourth round of the 1976 Major League Baseball draft. He spent the first season of his minor league career with the Boise A’s of the Northwest League. In 46 games, Henderson batted .336 and hit three home runs and two triples. Henderson spent the following season with the Modesto A’s. He batted .345 in 134 games during his record-setting season with Modesto. Henderson, along with Darrell Woodard, nearly broke the league record for team stolen bases. The Modesto A’s finished the season with 357 stolen bases, just shy of the league record of 370. While Woodard tied the single-season player record with 90 stolen bases, Henderson beat the record by stealing 95 bases, and was awarded the Sundial Trophy, given to the Modesto A’s Most Valuable Player.
Regarding Henderson’s 1982 season, the mid-’80s book The Hidden Game of Baseball looked at such statistics as .78 expected runs with a runner on first and no outs, 1.07 expected runs with runner on second and no outs, and only .25 expected runs no one on and one out. The authors concluded that with Henderson’s 130 stolen bases he contributed 22.2 runs to the A’s offense. But by being caught stealing 42 times, he cost his team 20.6 runs. And therefore, the authors concluded, the net effect of his running activity was merely 1.6 extra runs for the season. A later analysis determined his net contribution was 5.3 runs for the season.
