Let Rickey Play !

UPDATE 06-23-09 I'm going to be attending the Induction Ceremony in July, along with baseball analyst, Paul Martino, who's latest book Street Smart Sports Management just came out.

01-12-09 Rickey is voted into Baseball Hall of Fame. Induction ceremony is July 26th. I'll be there! This doesn't mean though that Rickey can't still play for a team. Jim Palmer came back after being inducted into the Hall.

12-13-07: More evidence that Rickey is the GREATEST baseball player of all time. He is NOT listed in US Senator George Mitchell's 300 page document on steriods.

Help send a message to Major League Baseball teams that you want to see Rickey Henderson play at least a few more games this year. Let Rickey retire HIS WAY, the Rickey Way - on the field.

In the comments section tell me which team you think should offer Rickey a spot on their roster.

Nobody loves the game of baseball more than Rickey Henderson. Remember how exciting Rickey made the game? Let's see Rickey do what Rickey does best one more time!

Ricky say for me to vote for Ricky, I do what Ricky say because Ricky is the greatest. Ricky don't want to play for the minors, Ricky want to play for a real team. Ricky is the greatest of all time and we should all do what Ricky say and say that Ricky should play.

P.S. Ricky Ricky Ricky

The Rangers have had all kinds of outfield injuries this year. They could play Rickey in place of "Mr. Swing at everything" Nelson Cruz. Besides 76 year old Julio Franco still plays the game and I know Rickey is still a better hitter.

Rickey Henderson should sign up to play on the Texas Rangers....they might let him play. I remember Rickey on the Oakland "A's" when I use to go to the A's game as a kid. But now I am a Texas Rangers fan as I live in Texas and think that they should have me as their fan. I have to say some people don't think they will ever make the worlds series but some day they will. So Rickey sign up for the Texas Rangers.

I saw this during the Ranger game and, why not give him a chance. Sosa has worked out in Texas, give the old man a chance.

By the way I am a huge ranger fan and I highly dislike the A's ever since the fans caused Frankie Fransisco to throw a chair in the crowd!

In September, when the A's are (again) out of contention...put the guy in a few times when the starters are tired. He might surprise the heck out of you! I'd love to see it happen

It's horrible to see a player with Rickey's accomplishments forced out of baseball and into retirement the same way that Canseco and Palmeiro were forced into retirement (without the steroid allegations but still not allowed to retire on his own terms).

If nothing else, he can always be added to some roster (PREFERRABLY OAKLAND) and used as a pinch-hitter, pinch-runner or late inning defensive replacement.

Any team that signs him will see an immediate boost in ticket sales when he is brought up, it should be worth the investment!!!

Billy Beane, please read this post....

My boy friend and I (of 10 years) loved Rickey. When he was on base we both would sit on the edge of our chairs in anticipation. I would love to see him back. Just for old time sake.

I know Rick the Quick can still steal a few bases. I doubt he can hit over .200 in MLB but what they heck, I bet a few teams can use a designated runner and good LF on occasion.

rickey939:
Who cares if he only bats .200 at the plate...he will still walk consistently and therefore his .400+ OBP will make up for it.

With guys like Barry Bonds and Floyd Landis in supports it's always nice to see someone as driven and just pure like Ricky Henderson and more beautiful is his ability to always speak in the third person. Let Rickey play.
