Ricky Henderson called the Red Sox clubhouse Thursday looking for tickets for Saturday's sixth game. Told there was no game, Henderson asked, "Why?"
I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.

It really is sad how he seemingly went out to purposely make not just his team but the fans hate him. The numbers don't lie, it can be debated if he played for the love of the game or the love of the rickey and his numbers but the numbers are there. He is one of the greatest of all times but strictly by the stats, he will unfortunatly fall by the wayside in the coming years because of his attitude over the years and that he was basically a nomad in the league.

greatest lead off hitter in the history of the game, arguably. also possibly the most selfish player ever.

11 time all star
former MVP
All Time Runs Leader
All time Stolen Base Leader
3rd in times on base
2nd in career walks
20th In Hits
31st In Total Bases
The numbers are pure HOF numbers but his most impressive number is the amount of times he was traded in spite of the numbers.
