Like many in A’s Nation, Rickey Henderson was one of my heroes growing up. I tried (very unsuccessfully) to copy his batting stance throughout my Little League career. His combination of speed, swagger and game-changing ability was like no other player we have ever seen. One of the best things Dave Kaval, Bob Melvin and the A’s have done over the last couple of seasons is to look for ways to honor Rickey and get him in front of the team and fans. From the naming of the field after him to the A’s Big Head Races to having him dress out in uniform and sit near the dugout during home games, the A’s have treated Rickey exactly how you should treat a Hall of Fame legend!
