i remember being little and at a yankee game and this girl next to us was screaming "RICKEEEEEEEY! RICKEEEEEEEEY!" the entire time, bless her crazed heart.
bless his crazed heart too:
He tripped on a loosened third base bag and half-limped, half-crawled home with the winning run Tuesday night, in obvious pain.
The next morning, Rickey Henderson was feeling much better. But it's already September, when major league rosters expand to 40, and still no one has come looking for the services of a 45-year-old outfielder, even if he is baseball's career leader in stolen bases and runs.
Spending nearly an entire season in the baseball purgatory of the independent minor league Newark Bears, Henderson might be nearing the end of a Hall of Fame career that has spanned a quarter-century. [ap]
