Steve Finley: "You have tenure, sit wherever you want."
Rickey Henderson: "Ten years? Rickey's been playing 16, 17 years!"
While with the Padres in 1996 and looking for a seat on the team bus.

That gave me a good laugh, I've watched him being interviewed and it was easy to picture his voice and mannerisms as he said it.
What is that 1980 looking card that doesn't look like his actual 1980 card?
I believe it is an insert on a recently issued series.
I don't own it so I don't know. I swiped the image from ebay and did not commit the details of the card to memory. I just went back to ebay and it is long-gone as I think the auction ended.
