Former Mets GM Steve Phillips said on MLB Network Radio on Sunday that Rickey Henderson didn't know him by his name, would just refer to him as "hey GM".

Phillips said Henderson wanted the Mets to do something special for him in 1999 when he reached the all-time runs record and all-time walks record.

Phillips said the Mets would have a pregame ceremony and present him with some tiffany. Henderson replied, "Who's Tiffany?"

Phillips said it's made of crystal. Henderson asked, "who's Crystal?"

When Henderson understood what Phillips and the Mets wanted to do for him, he wasn't interested. Phillips asked what he wanted.

Henderson wanted the Mets to get him a Madden cruiser lol
