Rickey Henderson Career Highlights

it really helps the hitters when Riki is in this situation because the infielders have like Trammell he can't play a normal position there he goes pitch is inside tunnel and throw and he is in safely with number 1000 the fans recognizing the milestone that Ricky Henderson has just reached he wants the base can't blame him for that of course we'll have to charge him for it he can have it but this will have to charge him about it one of those go for a hundred bucks or something like that sorry Rudy but pork it up he can afford it it was third base that ricky stole when he broke Brock's record got a great jump it wasn't even a close play Bob Ricky might wait until the situation was a little bit different but he took off it was a good high fast pitch on the inside parts of Tettleton Tettleton makes a good throw Ricky just gets the main reasons is that they haven't seen a lot of right handers but Ricky he is now the all-time leader in that's number 36 he passes Bobby bonds [Applause] he's don't get many home runs for Rickey Henderson has done it 36 times leading off the ballgame [Applause] the majorly great in that department and elegance with a fastball right down and Ricky got on over Rickie's not going to get a big lead he's going to have if he goes he's going to have to do it with sheer speed because Liriano is going to keep him close there are two outs really not abduction Rickey Henderson [Applause] 893 [Music] he said everybody to went to his mother die v3 is going to tom Tripplehorn [Applause] this first manager there is Bobby Henderson [Applause] [Music] how ironic he would do it at third-base where when Kelly Gruber is right the man he had American League Championship Series [Applause] [Music] Tony LaRussa ought to congratulate his plan yeah we're going to have a brief ceremony [Applause] and here it is again the historic stolen base then he took third base watch him go blowing he's in full bore right now he's watching the play I know Ricky he'd rather have a throw there an EVP Kelly Gruber to the bass thank and he ripped it right up his mother Bobby a big part of the race and Ricky returned to Oakland and he hits a high flyball to left field and that one is carrying and [Applause] and I have to tell you I've seen a lot of games in this park and they fooled everybody on a windless night but would be a normal routine fly ball goes out just like last night wonder nothing that sets a world series record never in the history of the world series has eight different players hit home run now only Mark McGwire has not home Henderson on a new and old pitch swinging away and they can get one to nothing Oakland ball is hit well to left field Rickey is racing back and Fletcher [Applause] I believe that that was going out of the ballpark and hold it back sit level of a high off the wall did not in fact over it let's check it out and see this do we have top Terry you can't do it better than this look at Ricky knows where he is now knows where he has to go there's the warning track there's the wall up and above and he grabs it that's either going to be just on the top of the fence or or maybe out of there what a play Lou Brock sits over there behind the dugout looking on Ricky with 937 steals now the development and the pitch he's running [Applause] Ricky has removed second base patted it lovingly blazes both arms to the crowd listen [Applause] is having come from behind a 3-1 nothing definite Ritchie goes a pitch Tech that he's [Applause] steal surveys jerks the bank from its moorings and hold it aloft representing number 939 [Music] [Applause] riki pounds it with his left fist ends at to equipment manager Frank's in check who gives him a big hug there's Ricky's mom [Applause] again talking about the game forgotten and loop rocked all over the half is cow in the field right now he can finally make his speech pass over the record to Ricky and go about his business now he's already out there they've got a presentation table up they'd go as high as seven or eight rounds and people were kidding themselves is deep that ball is a grand slam home run [Applause] I may be mistaken but I believe that's the first one Ricky Henderson's ever hit I don't believe Ricky Henderson's ever had a Grand Slam Drake well if that's true that means we've seen too first this year Kirk Gibson's first ever and it is his first one ever [Applause] because after Gibson's streak ended not having hit a grand slam with over 200 major-league homers the next in line I believe was Rickey Henderson most homers without a grand slam in such fastball mr.wai Ricky hasn't faced s it's been a bit close drops the bar once never touch the play don't believe this identify let's Sunday the phone afford the girl here your wife's been rickys mm hip Ricky got it number 2000 drives in a run to tie the game of all the places that hit until he hits the bank that they push that who's got one of the best there's good hitting right there that's typical Rickey atlas of two strike hitting now watch this here we go he got the plate with his left hand what a great he's live there's a powerful throw by Pichette right on the money kept to death cut quite picking up here's the ovation to Ricky as they just announced number 2000 just about everybody is standing in the Coliseum and giving ricky innovation my called ready now at Ricky's running in the first pitch the throw by Ron Kaka by is : in 66 Ricky said he was trying to present the bag when the steel came to Fukumoto he has already pulled up the bag from its moorings a new one is being put in his place Ricky's walking across the left side of the diamond to bring it to Frank son Shakthi Dave's equipment manager there was a ceremony between the game involving Ricky and Yutaka Fukumoto in which the Japanese star presented Ricky with a pair of goals you know Blyleven one year through 50 up to do the Homer dome that's hit to deep West and Henderson back to the wall Ricky leaps and makes the catch and took some home [Applause] highway robbery and left field right out of brainy Anderson's book looks like Cal got enough of it even though it was up to bat a little bit but he doesn't even hit that ball this well looks like it got it up on the trademark and you get an idea of how far the ball does go here at Camden Yards and you also get an idea of the agility and fielding skill of Rickey Henderson so he beat you with is way his glove has been fabulous maneuver on the part of Rickey Henderson right here to steal home run now that ball goes into the bleachers like that you as a fan can try to catch that ball now Henderson goes and the pitch gets away from Berryhill Henderson could keep on going both brothers at Ben [Applause] the third-base coach for the Padres he was waving Henderson around [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] the greatest at this time Finley's not backing out my [Applause] the greatest bass theater [Applause] in the air to Center Vicki Wilkes AG and Rickey Henderson will get Giambi [Applause] they were - tonight at 92 on the season it is 12 to 4 and for Rickey Henderson a milestone career run at number 2002 Ike Henry Aaron Babe Ruth Pete Rose and Willie you guys to score more Jason Giambi very happened because it sac-fly scored great cake for his 2,000th couldn't take the plate so I took the baseball and that is Ricky Henderson's stated it goal to try to get to tuck Ricky 2837 hits here comes the rock in the 1-1 pitch on the way to Ricky's right back to the warning track is bond [Applause] you have heard of storybook finishes how about a story bud start well Rickey Henderson has just had a storybook start here in Seattle 76 time that he is hit a leadoff home run the top of the 8th at Boston Blue Jays three Red Sox 2 but 3 2 pitch is high ball four he walked them well Ricky Henderson draws the walk and a historic walk it is he is one of only three players in Major League history to have 2000 walks in his career that was number 2000 Babe Ruth is the all-time leader in watch with 2062 our fielders have a chance soil there pops it up left field line long run Ricky out from underneath this kid Rachel's into the [Applause] Henderson takes a seat in the front row he got to it - Lane this guy can still get it done riki watch out folks he says I want this boy he had to go where you buy a ticket to get it and then over the wall a Fosbury flop into the seats outstanding player there's three ball one strike pitch on the way outside ball four that's 2,000 that's 63 a new standard all-time base on balls it goes by Ruth the fans here on their feet cheering you know when you're an all-time leader in any category in baseball you have done something took him 23 years and he did it it is remarkable as you mentioned this is a little guy till they walk the big guys they fear the big guys get to the homerun and for a leadoff guy in terms of stature it is amazing that he has more walks than one of the great homerun hitters the second greatest home run hitter of all time success against when he's 4 for 13 with a home run off Thompson and a flyball right-field is it going to fall is it going to fall [Applause] and the Padres come streaming out of the book down to congratulate my teammate when his first at-bat miss garner was 3,000 go ahead [Applause] Henderson studies pitchers made a career out of it hands on his hips he gets his lead in that dirt cutout inching toward the turf little bigger lead foot on the turf to stretch he goes good jump what fun pitch high throw is high the head first wide he's got another one and 1400 in his fabulous career so Ricky with a couple of thefts here tonight and that's what happens when you drill Ricky he's going to come right back at you the best way that he can and that's with his legs he's made it in art form to steal going in headfirst [Applause] another homerun for 44 year-old Ricky Henderson well this is the new Rickey Henderson he used to do it by getting off a stealing bases since he's been with the Dodgers now he's hitting a home runs and that's the first time he's done it and it's the rear second here with the Dodgers but that's one thing that woody Williams will do he throw strikes he has the lead he's going to throw strikes and make you swing the bat so 81 times Rickey Henderson has led off the game home runs at right fielder Rickey Henderson we just found him throw strikes didn't in the past you didn't want to walk him feet but Ricky's sitting on the fastball got it pretty much in the middle of the plate and drilled him that was the 290 7th time that Rickey Henderson and hit a homer 117 steals he's been cut down 39 times which that 2 is the record set many years ago over the great Georgia Peach Tyrus Raymond Cobb there we go [Music] crowd all only have sides up here for Ricky or Boyd the call I had to clean pick off let's look at it again Ellie look at this one real quote Caldwell with a little deceptive move quickly throws to first but Henderson was already often flying that tag appears to be high on the rear end of Henderson his arm sneaked in ahead of the tag now keep in mind also that durwood Merill is the umpire that called Henderson out in Oakland two nights ago the tag applied high his hand in a head ties the record at number 118
