Part 6/8:
Hall of Fame Recognition
Ricky Henderson's contributions to the game were recognized in 2009 when he was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot, receiving 94.8% of the vote—the thirteenth highest percentage in MLB history. Henderson, who was ranked 50th on the Sporting News' list of the 100 greatest baseball players in 2005, humbly acknowledged his achievements, focusing on his love for the game rather than personal accolades.
While he cherished his records, he often emphasized the importance of scoring runs, saying, "You have to score to win."
