* Belated congrats, Rickey Henderson.

August 17, 2009

Henderson became the latest first-ballot Hall of Famer this year.

What a day May 1, 1991 was: Henderson becomes the all-time stlen base cham, and Nolan Ryan tosses his seventh and final no-hiter. Henderson took some criticism because of his “I-am-the-greatest” boast, while Ryan quietly accepted the accolades for his accomplishment.

You just know a new bio of Rickey is in the offing. In the meantime, there are lots of Henderson items you can get for your bookshelf.
