Rickey makes it officiaHall

How ironic that the first time I get back to blogging on this site in more than three years is the day that Rickey Henderson is voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Last time, I wrote about how Rickey was still hanging on playing in semi-pro leagues for the love of the game and a chance to get back to the Show. It's hard to say more than has been, and will be said about baseball's greatest lead-off hitter. It's hard to argue with Rickey being in the class as one of the game's best all-around players, right up there with Willie Mays, Joe Morgan or Roberto Clemente. Ricky also did things his own way and truly loved playing the game. And, some of us were lucky enough to watch him play the game in his prime. Oh, and Jim Rice wasn't a bad player either.
