MESA, Ariz. -- Billy Burns led all rookies, as well as the entire A's team, in stolen bases last season, but this week he's far from the most prolific basestealer wearing the green and gold.
Rickey Henderson, baseball's all-time stolen-base leader, is in A's camp as a guest instructor. Henderson, who arrived at Hohokam Stadium on Sunday, will be with the A's for eight days.
"It's really a blessing just to have him around," Burns said. "A guy like me, I learn a ton from him. We're always talking about different aspects of the game that he was awesome at and I just kind of learn from him.
