OAKLAND -- To borrow from a classic lilt, the Oakland Coliseum used to be Rickey Henderson's playground when he was carving out a Hall of Fame baseball career as the greatest leadoff hitter of all time with the Oakland Athletics.
And by 2020, if not sooner, these grounds will also be a two-time former home of the Oakland Raiders, who received permission last week from the NFL to relocate to Las Vegas.
Henderson was at the A's opening-day game against the Los Angeles Angels to have the field dedicated in his name.
