If you've ever wondered if Rickey Henderson was one of the greatest players in baseball history, just ask him! A specialist in third-person speech, there was no greater fan of Rickey Henderson than Rickey Henderson. Accompanying his gargantuan ego, however, was a gargantuan ability to hit and run! Nicknamed “The Man of Steal,” Henderson shattered every base-stealing record in the books, topping the 100 steal mark three times, leading the league 12 times, and setting records for steals in a season with 130, with his career base swiping mark of 1,406 almost 500 higher than his closest rival, Lou Brock. Henderson was as outstanding at the plate was he was on the bases, with over 3,000 hits, 297 lifetime homers and 1,115 RBI, almost entirely as a lead-off hitter! Presented is a game-used jersey, worn by Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson during the 1989 season. This road gamer has a Rawlings size 42 label and "Set 1 1989" flag inside the front left tail. The black armband on the left sleeve in honor of the passing of league Commissioner Bart Giamatti. LOA from Troy Kinunen/Mears and Mile High Card Company.
