What a great day for Rickey Henderson, the Oakland Athletics, and the fans!!!
Last night Rickey’s #24 was retired by the A’s and Rickey has once again joined some pretty elite company in the baseball world.
Here are a few pictures from the ceremony:

A golden base. Fitting for the game's greatest runner!

The perfect way to remember 'The Man'!!!

Rickey, his base, and his jersey = Baseball Perfection
Congratulations Rickey!!! Another wonderful way for us to honor your commitment and excellence in the the game!!!
