Saw him when As were playing @ Skydome in early 90s
Our seats were about 15 rows back down 3rd base line between 3b and LF
Throughout first few innings people kept stopping by to chat with lady couple rows up all decked out in fancy dress and tons of jewelry
Usher would later let us know it was Mama Henderson and she was just as gracious with everybody as people describe Rickey
Haven’t thought about that in a while

Ouch. That one’s another nail in the coffin of my childhood. I am shocked.

Wow. I had to check ESPN on that report and found nothing. I guess the crew at ESPN is caught up in the college football playoff. He always was a great signing guest. Gone to soon.
