Rickey Henderson, the "Man of Steal," is one of the greatest Major League Baseball players of all time and my favorite baseball player growing up. He played for over 20 years and still has the records for stolen bases (1406, current active leader is around 560), runs scored (2295, current active leader around 1846), lead-off home runs (81), single season stolen bases (130), unintentional walks (2129). He also ranked highly in a number of other categories. You can check out his full stats here, including some yearly rankings/awards. They're pretty nice.
I found this highlight video of his career.
What a great ballplayer.
(update: I just recalled that I have this jewel in my baseball cards. If a titan of the food industry like Jimmy Dean approves, then we know Rickey's legit)
