Rickey, Baseball, Life...A Humbling Experience

Rickey Henderson baseball hall of fame induction...

Yesterday Rickey Henderson was inducted into Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame.

As a boy I remember watching Rickey set his records. I remember his flamboyant style, his trademark stance at the plate that always reduced the strike zone on him to about half the area everyone else had.

He was the penultimate leadoff hitter...he got on base!

He could hit home runs, singles, doubles, triples...

He could walk to get on...

He stole bases unlike any other...

He was a great fielder...

He brought the fans to the ballpark...

And yesterday, he was also humbled by the completion of his baseball journey into the Hall of Fame.

Check out the video of his speech.

You have something great to show the world. You know what it is.
