Terrible news. Ricky was legendary.

Wow! Sad.

Sad...he was fast...held the record for Most Stolen Bases in MLB

Had the opportunity to meet him while he was at Oakland. He was a bit odd but still very nice. I'll always remember that meeting in a fond way. RIP Man of Steal

😭

That’s way too young. Glad I got to see so many of his milestones. RIP

Jeez…

That’s so sad 😭

Ricky & Harold Baines went into the employee entrance at the SkyDome, summer of 1991, man could those guys dress! I was entering and was to escort them to the visitors clubhouse he shook my hand and thanked me it was a time before autograph hounds and selfies it was enough to know it happened

So sad - he was my husbands first poster in his room as a little one

Crazy (and terrible, obviously). He seemed like someone who would live to 95.

The absolute king of stolen bases

Oh man, this sucks. Rickey was a legend! RIP Hall of Famer, RIP

🙏🏽🫶🏽

😔😔😭

A damn shame. Rickey was an exciting ballplayer, and an interesting source of soundbytes for the media. RIP.

What the heck??

Nooooo! I'm crushed!

That’s not good news. But I’m holding out hope that the Dodgers add pinch runner Nickey Henderson to their playoff roster next October.

No effing way😢 Both Rickey and Fernando were my favorite players in the 80’s. 2024 has now taken them both. RIP Rickey🙏🏼

Vaxxed???

Awful news.

I loved watching him win the World Series with the Blue Jays. He was a true force of nature. The threat of him stealing a base took so many pitchers off their game.

I remember his first at-bat for the Mariners was a home run!

This is so sad. Gone way too soon. Ricky was awesome. Ricky was a winner.

That is tough to take. Condolences to family and friends and fans.

Dam, love me some Rickey stories.

Sad news.

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

💔

Damn damn damn!!

Dam

Damn, it has been a tough year for us A’s fans. You will be sorely missed by us all Rickey!

I was there, too. Rickey throwing kisses to the fans is a memory I'll cherish forever.

😢

Pleasure and a privilege to watch him play😞

That was quick! oops. Too soon? Yikes.

The worst year ever for A's fans just got worse. RIP Rickey.

Rest in peace

Oh, and geez. Willie gone, too. That’s the hit king, the steals king and arguably the greatest player in baseball history gone in the same year. Too much!

😢🙏

Way too young.

Aw man - damn sad to hear this!!

So sad. What a great player he was. RIP Rickey 🙏

Super sad. One of the greats.

If he walked he was stealing 2 bags easy.

He was amazing to watch. Very sad to hear 💔

The best base stealer I have ever seen. #2 Vince Coleman

RIP Rickey. Loved that brother.

What!?!? 😞

Oh man. RIP.

I saw it last night and thought it was a prank, big Fan of Rickey!!! Well balanced player with emence skills and great speed, every thing a great player should have. I am shocked he went so young. God bless this great man

R.I.P. So young to die

This guy is my choice for the best MLB player of my lifetime.

👑

😪😢

Oh this really sucks. In his honor, I’m going to say something I’ve never said online: Rickey Henderson was a better baseball player than Scott Rolen.

RIP Rickey

Wow. Incredibly sad. Pneumonia at 65 in extremely young.

Rest in Peace, Rickey

WTF? 😢😢😢

Just heartbreaking The greatest larcenist to ever roam the basebaths. Just an incredible mix of power and speed

huge loss he was a force of nature until the end

Rickey finally found Rickey's limo. Loved that dude.

It's not on espn.com yet.

Oh no! 😟

Boo. That sucks. RIP Ricky!

One of the greatest MLB players of all time.

So sad. Such an exciting player to watch.

Top 15 player of all time... maybe top 10...depends how far back your list goes...

This suuuuuuucks 😢
