Rickey's getting older...

Awesome player...for all his quirks, he really played the game hard and was always nice when I met him (three or four times).

Rickey...
 

Unique individual. Here with the 2005 San Diego Surf Dawgs.

The story went that a few weeks into Henderson’s stint with the Mariners, he walked up to Olerud at the batting cage and asked him why he wore a batting helmet in the field. Olerud explained that he had an aneurysm at nine years old and he wore the helmet for protection. Legend goes that Henderson said, “Yeah, I used to play with a guy that had the same thing.” Olerud said, “That was me, Rickey.”
(Henderson played with Olerud on the Blue Jays and the Mets.)



Surf Dogs ehh?.. I have got to get me a cap. A tribute to Dog Beach no doubt. Great team logo too.

That was definitely a great Rickey classic (w/ Olerud)...

Definitely a classic, and one of my faves...
 

Still need more of his later years, but he's been fun to collect:
