Rickey Henley Henderson, known as Rickey Henderson, was popular as an outfielder in Major League Baseball in America. He is remembered as the all time great in runs score and stolen bases. He was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 25, 1958. This legend in Basketball spent 25 years of his life with 9 clubs playing. He had been the premier leadoff hitter of his time. Based on his stolen base, runs scored, power play and high on-base percentage, Henderson is considered the best in this sport.

This everlasting leader in Walks gained his popularity by his indomitable sporting spirit and game understanding. He was a Hall of Famer. According to statistician Bill James, Rickey was more than eligible to remain Hall of Famer.

Rickey Henderson was originally named as Rickey Nelson Henley. His name reminds us of the legendary musician Rickey Nelson. The story of his birth is really interesting. He was born on the backseat of a car when his parents were on the way to the hospital. His parents were Bobbie Henley and John L. Henley. Henderson was in Oakland in California when he was just a boy of seven years. He started his schooling there.

The reason behind the changed surname of Rickey Henderson is the fact that his mother married a person called Paul Handerson after his father died in an accident. Rickey learned to play Baseball in Oakland in his childhood. He was a hard hitter and generally not a pitcher. He used to bat right handedly, however, he used to throw balls by his left hand very naturally. This is truly a rare combination among the Baseball players in America.

Rickey Handerson was a famous Baseball player, but written materials about his personal life are very less. The reason for this may be the fact that he liked to lead a peaceful and quiet life outside the field. His marriage with Pamela, his high school love has made him very happy in his personal life. Henderson and Pamela are parenting Alexis, Angela and Andrian, their three children.

Rickey Henderson made many records in his sporting life. Once in May 1977, he could stole 7 bases in one game.
