RIP

RIP. Hated him when he was playing. But a hell of a player.

oh well.

Top 20 career in baseball history, Blue Jays WS legend. What a player.

Thats pretty damn young for a former pro athlete, RIP

Dude had unreal numbers. Incredible player.

one of the greatest personalities in sports history. the stories out there about him are so wacky and awesome

RIP Ricky.

Whoa, hes stayed out of the news. RIP, guy was an amazing player

How did he go? Thats young for a guy of his size

When he was on the cusp of breaking Brock's record, Brock attended his games so he could be there when it happened. And when it did, Henderson didn't even acknowledge him. That's what I remember most about Henderson.

The Bay Area News Network is reporting he was hospitalized with pneumonia.

Most athletes grow a belly after they play. Rickey remained in tip top shape.

Pneumonia, just a few days before his birthday, on Christmas.
