Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, MLB’s all-time stolen base king, dies at 65

<!–>

Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson, MLB’s all-time leader in stolen bases and runs scored, has died at 65, per multiple reports.

Henderson, a 10-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, stole 1,406 bases in his 24-year career — a record that remains intact to this day.

He is also MLB’s all-time leader in runs scored, having touched home plate 2,295 times in his career.

Henderson led the league in steals 12 times, and in runs five times.

The 1990 American League MVP, Henderson also holds the MLB single-season record for stolen bases (130 in 1982). He’s the only player in AL history to steal 100 bases in a season, having done so three times.

Henderson, a Gold Glove Award recipient (1981) and three-time Silver Slugger Award winner, was part of nine different clubs, but was most widely known for his time spent with the Oakland Athletics (1979-84, 1989-93, 1994-95, 1998).
