Dave Henderson, a former major league outfielder who played for five teams and hit one of the most memorable home runs in postseason history, died on Sunday in a Seattle hospital. He was 57.
He had had a heart attack, according to a statement from the Mariners, who originally signed him in 1977.
Henderson was best known for his home run for the Boston Red Sox in the 1986 American League Championship Series in Anaheim, Calif. With the Red Sox one strike from elimination in Game 5, Henderson hit a go-ahead two-run homer over the left center-field wall in the top of the ninth against the California Angels, who were trying to clinch their first pennant.
