Custom Authentic Jerseys

Rickey Henderson visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and put on an old glove and shoe a 1981 Brooks spikes that he wore with Oakland in his third MLB season, the wings of Mercury back then.  It was the first time he touched the shoe since 28 years ago.

“They don’t make ‘em like this anymore,” Henderson said Friday, clad in black slacks and a white checkered shirt, and poring over artifacts from a big league life. “It makes you sad that not many guys steal bases today. You should be able to move to the next base, to get yourself in scoring position. I used to steal to get in scoring position because I wanted to be the person to score the most runs.”

Henderson stole the most bases and he scored the most runs. For that reason and more, he will be enshrined right here in less than three months, along with Jim Rice and Joe Gordon at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Henderson was here at the Hall on this day for an informal “orientation” visit, a chance to tour the exhibits alongside fans, to see the archives and look through his collection of game-used equipment and publications and photographs.  Henderson’s career spanned 25 seasons.

Displays of Babe Ruth, Walter Johnson, Honus Wagner are in the Gallery room.  In Henderson’s MLB career of 25 seasons he stole the most bases and he scored the most runs. For that reason and more, he will be enshrined right here in less than three months, along with Jim Rice and Joe Gordon at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
