GLENDALE, CA (YIFTM) – Greetings and welcome to January 24th, the first “Rickey Henderson Day” of the year. The extreme importance of this day is of course, the celebration of the world’s most important entertainment figure, Rickey Henley Henderson. This future Hall of Famer, and cultural attaché bore the unforgettable number 24 on his jersey for countless seasons. “Rickey owns that number,” Nathan, a lifelong Henderson fan exclaims, “that number belongs to Rickey!”
An even further look into the cultural and social importance that is “Rickey Henderson Day” we remind our readers that Rickey Henderson’s Major League Baseball debut was on the 24th of June, 1979 (a mere 3 days prior to this writer’s birth) for the Oakland Athletics.
Whatever team you associate with, wherever you are in the world, take 24 seconds to remember the greatest baseball player to ever play the game. And as Rickey himself puts it, “Lou Brock was a great base stealer, but today I am the greatest.”
Truer words were never spoken.
