Happy birthday Rickey Henderson!!

Rickey Henderson was born on Christmas Day in 1958. Now that he's a Hall of Famer, MVP, World Champion, and the best basestealer and leadoff hitter of all time, it's safe to say that he's the best Christmas gift that A's fans have ever gotten. You better believe I wore those neon green batting gloves in Little League, because Rickey was/is the man. He turns 56 years young today and I like to imagine that he still calls every GM in the Majors every winter, just in case they need an extra outfielder.
