Congratulations Rickey



I'm happy to announce that one of my childhood heroes has been selected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. The MLB HOF is one of the hardest honors to achieve in professional sports as a player must receive 75% of the votes (by the press) to be elected into the hall.

Henderson received an overwhelming 94.8% in his first year eligible. For anyone that's as old as me or a bit older, Henderson was a site to be seen on the field, constantly stealing every base once he reached first and pushing his teams into the playoffs and beyond.

Here's a great article on ESPN about his career and the dominance that he had on the field. BC with the assist.

Here's the ESPN TV coverage of the selection:



Here's how the voting played out this year and you can see some of the great players that are still getting denied entrance into the MLB HOF:
