- Rickey Henderson was one of the most fun players to watch in baseball history. Everything he did jumped off the screen. The Hall of Famer finished with a record 1,406 stolen bases and power out of the lead-off spot the sport has never seen before!

I got into some drama with a girl in high school because I basically told her she gets to 3rd base faster than Rickey Henderson. It was immature but I still thought my comment is funny
Underrated burn
😂 that is funny
what a team As. i am not into sports no more only 90s jordan ewing clyde barry sanders deion sanders martina hingis steffy graf 90s best era of all sports
Rickey Henderson was a joy to watch but speaking in 3rd person about himself will be what I always remember from him. Great defensive outfielder, great leadoff hitter, obviously stolen bases which is a lost art in today's game.
Rickey: Rickey Henderson is a bad man.
me: You don't say 😌
I loved him so much. Grew up going to the games to watch him my favorite player of all time.
I don't watch baseball but I imagine stealing bases is impossible now because of technology?
Rickey is one of thise guys who rubbed it in,brought swag to the game!
@@zomgbat lol no it’s not impossible, why would it be impossible? It’s just attempted less by today’s players for fear of getting caught. It really makes no sense cuz todays players are definitely faster than players from 30 years ago like in all sports, but the best stealers back then usually would get around 80, and now the very best are barely getting 40 steals
This record will never be touched
Which one runs, stolen bases, lead off homers
@@trexx32 or walks
@@literallyshaking8019 Barry Bonds owns that record. I don't think anyone will take that record from Bonds. He's so far ahead of everyone.
This is a nice homage to Ricky Henderson.
Many of us old heads remember Ricky well.
His mere presence on the base paths was always a disruption
Thank you for putting this together. Nicely done.
The reaction of that kid at 3:10 is hilarious
FUN FACT: in 2000 Rickey stole more bases by his lonesome with the Mariners & Mets [41 combined] than the Oakland Athletics did altogether as a team [40] Randy Velarde led Oakland with 9 SBs in '00!
At age 41!
> 1000 steals
> 1232 attempts
WTF
He was that good
so many steals when they KNEW that he was stealing lol
@@xxMistah_J they pitch out - he steals anyway
Amazing
He was GOAT for stolen bases.
One of my favorite players as a kid. Best lead off hitter ever , that was able to hit with power, or steal his way to third. Had a big ego , but he was driven.
Rickey had 1406 stolen bases. Lou Brock had 906 (Brock had 118 steals one season @ age 35!) . Thats incredible. He shattered that stolen base record.
One year Harold Reynolds won the base stealing title with 60. Rickey called him after the game and said, "Sixty stolen bases? You ought to be ashamed! Rickey would have had 60 at the All Star break!"
I had the privilege of watching Rickey in his prime with the A’s in the early 1990s, when I went to college in the Bay Area.
He was my favorite player!
He was a terror on the bases and exuded so much cool!
I don’t think there will ever be a player like him again, and I feel he’s often under-appreciated by baseball fans and historians.
The one regret I have is that he didn’t get a chance to join the 300-300 club-he was so close-ending his career with 1,406 steals and 297 home runs!
Why would anyone care about your regret .....? Im sure he's fine with his career path
Because he could churn out 3 home runs in a couple months max and it would add to his illustrious accolades.
Back when collecting cards was fun. But it got me into loving all the greats in the 90's.
It was truly a treat growing up watching this.
I still have his rookie card, and a newspaper clipping of when he became #1 most steals.
How much is that worth ??
Rickey liked playing in Oakland, they had very colorful uniforms.
Plus he is from the city of Oakland
@@gshivs793 still lives out there too lol. He's a cool guy if you recognize him in public.
I still remember Rickey arguing with seagulls in Toronto in about 1984. Never saw Ruth but I saw Rickey
"Ricky Henderson Was & Still is The Best Baseball Player & Base Steeler That Ever Played The Game of Baseball!"👏
He's the best leadoff hitter and base runner of all time. Answer solved?
Best baseball player=no
Best base stealer= yes
Finally. Was that so hard? Been waiting to see highlights of Rickey stealing bases forever on TH-cam. Thank you sir
GOAT of lead off batters! Could do so much more than just steal & was bigger than baseball at the time! #24
I was at that game! I actually had no idea what was going on until my father said come on son we're going to the A's game. I was actually oblivious to why he wanted to go to that particular game until it happened? Right then in there all the spot and to this day is one of my all-time favorite sports moments in life. He was also a freelance photographer for the raiders so I got to meet a lot of players!!!
Best athlete in MLB History and probably will be forever

Ricky was the worst baseball player to have to play against and the absolute best when he was on your team...he was that good. Toronto Blue Jays know this too well as we had to both play against him and when he played for us.
Ricky was a menace, and I loved watching it.
Ricky was a BEAST !!!
Rickey's stolen bases are right up there with Gretzky's points record in hockey. In the class of their own of: "Just... how?"
Some players aren't just players, they are forces of nature.
So lucky growing up in the bay area enjoying Rickey !! He was the greatest !!!
Baseball is so cool, when you break the stolen base record your reward is literally stealing the base.
Yankees shoud've never traded him.
This man was an all around player and one of the games best players of his generation and he was one of the greatest lead off hitters and the all time and he stole bases like it was nothing. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
It's an absolute miracle that Ricky Henderson was EVER caught stealing.
I was thinking the same thing. Give the guys an award who got him out because man it was very few.
The Man Of Steal. Rickey had magic.
Dude was built like a Strong Safety.
Everytime he came to the plate it was a game changer, everytime he got on base he would create chaos, that's why the hitter right behind him always had a good batting average, because pitchers threw a lot of fast balls, so catchers would have a fighting chance.
They knew.....without exception they always knew he was going to steal, shit, they even knew when, and they STILL couldn't stop him.
There never has been, nor will there ever be another one like him!
That cheetah had tree trunks for legs😁
I had to show a friend's son real speed on the bases. Mookie Betts, Siri, and Mike trout are fast, but Ricky Henderson was something special. 1000 bases stolen on 1,232 attempts. Is pretty damn good..
Not to shabby eh?
He also was Nolan Ryan's 5K SO, and Henderson is also proud of it, because people will also talk about him. What a time to be alive.
Rickey struck out against Ryan on purpose. I know this because Rickey knows better.
This man is great in history of baseboll Ricki Handerson
I'm so glad I grew up watching Rickey Henderson and Nolan Ryan
Rickey Henderson was a fun guy to watch. professional sports is entertainment, Ricky understood that.
You watch the past speed demons of the past, Kenny Lofton, Tim Rains, Vince Coleman, Willie Wilson, Juan Peirre, you could gage their speed you saw it. But Rickey was so fluid as a runner that he didnt look as fast as them but he was!
Imagine if a prime Rickey played in today’s MLB with pitch clocks and bigger basepads
Hed be considered top 10 imo then
MLB stolen bases are a Joke in 2023. MLB made the Bases bigger, added a 2 limit step off for pitchers & added a time clock. Anyone cheering on these stolen base numbers & not acknowledging how much easier MLB made it is dishonest.
When i was growing up playing baseball Rickey was my Idol
He brought so much to the game
Favorite player ever!
The League: "M'kay Ricky, we love you and everything, but you're taking home to many bases. It's starting to cut into the budget in a noticable way."
Man what a time to be an athletics fan sad this ball club will never be the same
It would have been interesting if Rickey stole home for one of those milestones. There’s no taking that base home with you.
Many catchers and pitchers would wound up homeless, for if he could not take the home plate home, he would take their homes
My all time favorite baseball player.

When you can steal even on a pitchout, you know you’re great
"I'm the greatest of all time. Thank you"
Plays hard, clean, and gritty .
I'm surprised Henderson never beat Jackie Robinsons record of stealing home 19 times
Ricky was the GOAT of base stealing .
His record will never be touched ever . He Cemented it especially with these players now a days ain't happening in this lifetime or the next
Cobb.brock..henderson..watched the man talk to his bat.during play.pitch.against the cage..kids.where electrified..he didn't go and sign one autograph..cause .he talks to his ..bat..and is in his Small mind is the greatest of all time.. Semper Fi..meat..
He was an exceptional ballplayer
1,000 steals on 1,232 attempts is unreal
I'm glad he's never been linked to steroids. Even for playing with José. And yet, the dirtiest player.... Look at his uniform, filthy
If baseball more of this id pry watch more
You only watch baseball to see stolen bases?
@@resmarted I don't watch baseball. Thus the comment
What if his last stolen base was home? He'd have a hell of a time digging that out in the middle of a game.
The last great mlb legend
2:40 he never touch home and the umpire call safe 🤣🤣🤣
The master of stolen bases. Stolen base king.
Bill King calling the radio play by play #classic #holytoledo
Just read that a player could steal 60 bases a year for 22 years and still wouldnt pass Ricky's record
@Ricky Henderson , just in case you read some comments here.
I wanna say , You will forever be the best ever Leadoff man , and stolen base king.
No fan of the overhyped EDLC .
It makes me sick on your behalf & all you accomplished over your 1st 15 to 16 yrs.
Seeing these idiots compare him to you.
The Sport's writers are gloryhounds seeking readers.
That's all they are.
That's about all they'll ever be.
You literally dominated the base paths for 17 years before your numbers finally looked human-like.
The game makes it easier than ever to steal a base now.
So , I'll never buy into the hype.
Thanks for 2 decades of dedication trying to do it the best you knew how , which was damn awesome.
Yeah I’m just an A’s fan for the quick when he gets the base! 👌👍Oakland Strong! 👊❤️! I’m just respectful of the moment at the good moment of celebration when he got the 1,000! 👌
Damn jason Giambi n
Rickey
!!
Forgot he was a padre. Mind blowing how many bases he stole. Took the base and all. This is mine now.
Got to remember that Lou Brock didn’t get to run until he reached the Cardinals. Still I don’t understand why Baseball still prefers power hitters over players like Henderson and Brock.
And he played another decade after breaking the record!!!!
“Rickey gotta go.”
-Rickey, just before launch
Here after the news of the A’s came out. Dammn sad for the A fans
No mariner highlights? hahahaha BRUTAL
I'm sorry Ricky was amazing but 2:11 ump didn't see it
I think it’s because the guys glove came off though
He was a bad man
Is he not out in literally the first clip used?
A lost art in the new era of baseball.
I can't believe he only got a 95% vote for the HOF, what the hell were the other 5% thinking?
I wonder how many more he’d have with replay
great basepath runner
When you break the record you literally steal the base
What god does Ricky pray to? Looks like he is making the sign of the cross with his left hand.
Rickey Christ
Rickey Henderson, Dave Stewart, Mark Mark McGuire, and snitching steroid user Jose Canseco were fun to watch.
i wouldn't even put any bases out if rickey was around.
I wonder how many of his stolen bases would've been overturned by instant replay now lol
Or vice versa! 💀
None
'bout tree fiddy
You kind of wonder how many of these would have been redacted had replay existed back then? I'm sure he had quite a few where popped off the bag for a second. But we review those things now and call guys out.

Ricky in third person
Was that angel Hernandez ?????
BabyTron is the GOAT
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Mr First Ballot
I wonder how many times this man got beaned in the gut or ribs mid-steal.... probably a lot.
2000 runs scored is alot
Is We Dumb sent me here.
😊🎉 🎂🍷 65th to the ♑🐐 ⚾ pure skills MLB leadoff man ever
It's great to look back on his Talent But whenever some on has to Keep saying their the greatest of all time it makes me think there is something Missing in their life a Void, they desperately want to fill. You never say Berry sanders Keep saying he's the Greatest of all time, did you?
Why do current players have so much trouble staying on the base? Cuz of those stupid oven mitts 😂?
He literally picks up the base and steals them
Scoring runs wins games.....ricky scored the most runs all time...more than ty Cobb and Barry bonds....
He was almost as good as Dan Bilzerian. Almost.
This guy literally steals the base
なぁ、アメリカよ
ピッチクロックでスタートしやすくなった今のMLBの盗塁を見て楽しいかい？
オレはピッチクロックがない日本のNPBの盗塁の方が興奮するよ
