Guy from my college was a journeyman big league catcher when Rickey was in the league. Threw him out trying to steal second once. Highlight of his career.

Well, later on, toward the end of both of their careers, they're both in Boston. One day, bus shows up at the hotel to take them to the ballpark, and a rookie sits in what Henderson had already claimed as his seat.

Rookie: "I'll get up. I guess you have tenure."

Rickey: "Shit, man, Rickey's been in the league for twenty years."

As my sig shows, I am a fan of that line ... but I read it in an SI piece as being said to Tony Gwynn.

I was in Little Little circa those years, and my stance was a combo of Steve Garvey and Dusty Baker, and the results were a batting average like Vic Davalillo.

I have his 1978 card with the Dodgers. The SOB played for like 27 years. The font on the back of his card was smaller than Pete Rose's.

Look at the font for Jose Pagan, Hoyt Wilheim Julio Franco or Lonnie Smith.
