Rickey Henderson Would Say This Epic Quote Before Stealing Bases

Former Major League Baseball superstar Ricky Henderson is the greatest to ever steal bases. With an impressive .401 career on-base-percentage, Henderson was always on first base. He stole over 1,400 bases throughout his 25-year career and was one of the most confident players to ever put on cleats. Ricky is a true legend.

He also had a flare for the dramatic, and often spoke in third person.

Rickey respected me as an elder, but he was always funny. Lots of confidence and sometimes I got confused because he spoke in the 3rd person 😂 https://t.co/7DDOuZFeaP
