Part 5/7:
To simplify Ricky Henderson's career to merely his status as an all-time base-stealing leader would be an injustice. He was a player whose accomplishments spanned numerous achievements. From winning a Gold Glove to breaking records for leadoff home runs, his prowess at the plate was matched by his skills in the field.
Stewart expressed his firm belief that Henderson ranks among the top five players in Major League Baseball history, stating that his defensive abilities often went overlooked. Despite having a less powerful arm, Ricky’s quick reflexes and understanding of the game allowed him to excel defensively, showcasing a well-rounded talent that few players possess.
