Rickey Henderson talks contract and Oakland A's

Rickey Henderson, perhaps the best base stealer of all time, talks about his upcoming contract negotiation with the Oakland Athletics. Hendrix is disappointed with the Oaklawn A's and their lack of producing a great contract.

Best ball player in the last 50 years. Fun to watch. Great man.

[@SwaybackJack]

Henderson, during a rare batting slump while in contract negotiations: "You gonna pay me like Mike Gallego, Ricky gonna hit like Mike Gallego..."

[@melotone3305]

We loved Mike at shortstop. But not quite so confident when he was batting. Rickey was on to something there.😮

[@72defender]

He was right! He was certainly one of the best at the time of that interview and over the course of his stellar career.

[@blimpton285]

"Rickey would not go out there to embarrass himself again."

These are comedic gems, although unintended, that can't be explained.
If you get it you get it. Like asparagus pee smell, and cats with catnip, some get it, some don't.

[@colinmontgomery1956]

Rickey ain't having this. Rickey wants paid what Rickey's worth.

[@johnnynephrite6147]

keep in mind that at the moment this interview was made, Rickey had a $1 million bonus check framed and hanging on the wall in his home. The A's accounting department had to call him up and make him cash it.

[@shatner99]

Ricky: listen, Rickey done played with a guy, a nice tall white guy, he done wear the hat like you.
John Olerud: Ricky, that was me, really l'm serious.
Ricky: Ricky done being made fun of. Can't be you.

Rickey keepin it real

[@JeffOrlick]

Best base stealer? He's the best PLAYER of all time. Best PLAYER.

[@matthewturner4719]

He’s a great player and I was a huge fan but he’s not even top 50.

@@matthewturner4719 ARE YOU ON DRUGGSSSS???

[@matthewturner4719]

@@bondsgoat25you think Bonds is the greatest? Son, you’re either on drugs or you’re too immature for this conversation. Get back at me when you hit puberty.

[@bondsgoat25]

@@matthewturner4719 brotha I don’t care who it is, everybody on earth, including the biggest Barry bonds haters on earth would agree, “Rickey Henderson is not a top 50 player of all time” is FARRR WORSE than saying Barry bonds is the goat.
How about you learn anything about baseball, then come back to me!

[@beoz658]

wait didn't Ricky sign the contract shortly before this interview.

[@mycolortv1]

More homeruns then any lead off hitter

[@adcizzle]

Jerry Jones need to watch this.

[@damannoa]

The A's are cheap. He should have resigned with the Yankees. Rickey the the Greatest!

[@infoguy1978]

As a Then 11 year old Yankee fan I was heartbroken when the Yankees traded him

[@dcw3483]

He was the Oakland A's. No wonder that franchise was trash adter he left

[@zitofan4life]

Rickey’s getting upset!

[@corv989]

He looks like Ice T

[@stevesilva1425]

Not. Even. Close.

[@bunbee2023]

Did you mean Ice Cube?? 🧊

[@brickingawesome]

Bit cocky but whatever

[@first_namelast_name5139]
