Rickey Henderson


On this date in 1982, Rickey Henderson breaks Lou Brock's 1974 single season record of 118 stolen bases. He finishes the season with 130 stolen bases.

"Lou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest."

He always "thought it" of course.

(Love the "taken just before the first pitch" photo on this Mother's card)
