Never a fan, but no denying his abilities and impact on the game, was was great

“I hated Rickey. Really, I couldn’t stand him. He never swung at my knuckleball, he never swung at my curveball. He never swung until he got two strikes. He had a strike zone the size of a coffee can. If you threw him a fastball, he would hit it for a home run. If you walked him, it was a triple. It was ridiculous.” - Tom Candiotti

Rickey was traded to the Yankees in 1985, and when a reporter asked him what it would feel like to play on the same field as Mickey Mantle and Joe DiMaggio, he responded, “I don’t care about them… It’s Rickey time!”

One of a kind

RIP Mr Henderson
