Part 2/8:
From the age of two to seven, Ricky lived with his grandmother in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, before finally moving with his family to Oakland, where he discovered his passion for baseball. Growing up in a neighborhood with friends who predominantly batted right-handed, Henderson followed suit, despite being a natural lefty. This unique combination set him apart, making him one of only 57 players in MLB history known to bat right and throw left through the 2008 season.
