Who Said Rickey Was Retired? It Wasn't Rickey!
Thanks for the plaque, Baseball Hall of Fame. But just for the record, Rickey isn't through yet. Anyone need a 50-year-old outfielder? More »

Rickey Henderson Ready To Enter The Rickey Henderson Hall Of Fame
The Baseball Hall of Fame ballots are out and there's really only one player who seems certain to be inducted next summer—Rickey Henley Henderson. Rickey was one of the most ridiculous humans to ever play organized baseball, but Rickey was also one of the best all-around players ever and a constant source of entertainment—on and off the field—for an entire generation of fans. 100% Injury Rate created a list of the definitive Rickey moments; some of them true, some you just wish were true, and it is an entertaining look back. My favorites: More »

Rickey Will Make It Back To the Majors, And Also Catch Your Dinner
One good thing has come from all of this Roger Clemens hoo-haw; noting that he is only four years older than The Rocket — and a year younger than Julio Franco — Rickey Henderson says that he is considering coming out of retirement. Henderson, now a special instructor for the Mets, last played baseball in 2005, for the San Diego Surf Dawgs of the Independent Golden League. He last played in the majors in 2003. More »

Don't Count Rickey Out Yet
So we spent most of the day yesterday wondering why ESPN was reporting that our beloved Rickey Henderson had retired, even though not a single other media outlet had picked it up and it wasn't on ESPN.com. They even did one of those generically rocking montages that ESPN does so well. More » -

Rickey's Gonna Do What Rickey's Gonna Do
Great, great, great news: Rickey Henderson could finally make it back to the majors. It might not necessarily be in the way we'd prefer — we'd like to see Rickey a top some sort of wild animal, an elephant or giraffe maybe, as the United Nations holds a special session up in a skybox in his honor; oh, and we'd also think it was cool if somehow Aerosmith could be there, or even REO Speedwagon — but we'll take it. A's general manager/Smilin' Simon Billy Beane says he would consider giving Rickey a one-day contract if he decided to retire in an A's uniform. More » -

The Minimum Wage Of The Newark Bears
We've had a grand time this morning flipping through the newest issue of New York magazine and its Salary Issue. Essentially, it looks at all different fields and examines how salaries compare to each other, and sports is one of its most entertaining entires. We have our doubts about a few of the numbers on the list, but on the whole, it's fun to mix and match. A sample: More » -

Rickey Does What Rickey Does, Baby
Surprising no one, Rickey Henderson rocked in his San Diego Surf Dawgs debut last night. We honestly would lose our collective minds if Rickey made it back to the bigs; we think we would just follow him around, like Phish or the Grateful Dead or REO Speedwagon. More » -
