I've been a fan of Rickey's since 1989 when I caught my first A's game. No one, but no one since then, has been as exciting to watch at the plate and on the base paths. He was a terror to opposing team's defenses.
Rickey remains my favorite baseball player of all time. He'll surely be a Hall of Famer, and no matter what others might say about his persona, his baseball feats cannot be denied. He already holds so many important Major League records that may never be broken. I say give Rickey a chance to enter another ultra-exclusive club: the "300-300 club". He only needs 3 more home runs to do it. I've seen Rickey lately and he is in teriffic shape, a testament to his work ethic. Give Rickey a chance, "Let Rickey play!"
