Henderson, Rickey (Henley) (1957– )| US baseball player. He was an outfielder for the Oakland Athletics, the New York Yankees, the Toronto Blue Jays, the San Diego Padres, the Anaheim Angels, the New York Mets, the Seattle Mariners, and the Boston Red Sox. He was known for his sometimes highstrung temperament and his always prolific base-stealing; his 130 stolen bases in 1982 set a new major league record, and in 1991 he broke Lou Brock's lifetime record (938). Since the start of his career in 1979, he has become baseball's all-time leader in runs, hits, steals, and walks. A solid and powerful .280 hitter, he was one of the game's greatest leadoff hitters. |
| Henderson was born in Chicago, Illinois. |
