Rickey got a big ranch. Rickey got a big bull. Rickey got horses. Rickey got chickens and everything. And Rickey got a 20-gallon hat.
From Rickey Henderson
I'm disappointed about how my career ended.
I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.
Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.
Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I'm cocky? Does that mean I'm arrogant?
I like playing for Oakland, they have a very colorful uniform.
To me the most important thing was stirring things up and scoring some runs so we could win a ballgame.
My dream was to play football for the Oakland Raiders. But my mother thought I would get hurt playing football, so she chose baseball for me. I guess moms do know best.
When you're a kid, you want to be a millionaire.
The only name on my birth certificate was Henley, no first name.
