Because of Le Batard, I've started tumbling down a rabbit hole of Rickey Henderson stories. It's one of the greatest things I've ever done.
Rickey was in talks with the Padres. He called the GM and left a voicemail saying, "This is Rickey, calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball."
Rickey struck out. He was walking back to the dugout, walked past a teammate who heard him say to himself, “Don’t worry, Rickey, you’re still the best.”
The team was staying about a mile from the Reds' ballpark. Some players walked, others road the team bus.
Rickey had a stretch limo drive him a mile to the game.

Dude, I am crying looking at all these teams that Rickey played for. I had no idea.
Nine teams in 24 years. Four separate times with the A's. Two with the Padres
