A Truly Dynamic Ballplayer
As others have said, what a shock. A sweet guy. My favorite Rickey story is when he received a one million dollar check from the Yankees. It was never cashed so the Yankees called him about it. He told them he had framed it and put it on his wall.
I will never forget when he stole 130 bases (I believe) in 1982. It was so exciting. Thank you, Rickey, for giving baseball such a charge. We are all forever grateful. RIP.

That's also one of my favorite Rickey memories/stories. He was approachable and didn't mind signing for the kids. Just an incredible lead off talent.
