Billy Burns has led the A’s in stolen bases for one season.
Rickey Henderson has led the Major Leagues in steals for his career, including leading the league in 12 different seasons
Henderson would like to have Burns follow in his footsteps.
For the next week, the two men will be talking daily. Henderson likes Burns’ running game and he’s in the A’s spring camp for eight days during which time he will work with the team on base running, outfield technique and patience at the plate. Burns will get special notice, much as he did last year.
