1993 Studio Rickey Henderson

Hobby is fishing: Henderson is an outdoorsman who enjoys fishing and hunting.
 
Favorite sports announcer is Bill King: King was a longtime A’s radio announcer.
 
Favorite player as a kid was Reggie Jackson: Henderson grew up an A’s fan and basically replaced Jackson as the best player in the Oakland franchise history.
 
Most prized possession is his 1989 World Series Ring: He would win another with the Blue Jays in 1993.
 
Might have been an accountant if he hadn’t been an athlete: Henderson famously kept his first Oakland A’s check instead of cashing it, causing havoc for the team’s accounting department.
 
Where he is now: Henderson stays active supporting the local Oakland teams, including the Sharks and Raiders. At a recent Raiders game he surprised a fan by returning a lost phone the fan had left on the bumper of Henderson’s car.
