Ricky Henderson is one of the most popular and richest Baseball Athlete who was born on December 25, 1958 in Chicago, Illinois, United States. As of June 1, 2023, Ricky Henderson has a net worth approximately $5 Million.
Henderson was born on Christmas Day 1958 in Chicago, Illinois, in the back seat of an Oldsmobile on the way to the hospital. He was named Rickey Nelson Henley, after singer-actor Ricky Nelson, and is the son of John L. Henley and Bobbie Henley. Henderson later joked, “I was already fast. I couldn’t wait.” When he was two years old, his father left home, and his family moved to Oakland, California, when he was seven. His father died in an automobile accident 10 years after leaving home. His mother married Paul Henderson in Rickey Henley’s junior year of high school and the family adopted the Henderson surname. As a child learning to play baseball in Oakland, Henderson developed the ability to bat right-handed although he was a naturally left- handed thrower—a rare combination for baseball players, especially non- pitchers. In the entire history of Major League Baseball through the 2008 season, only 57 position players are known to have batted right and thrown left, and Henderson is easily the most successful player to do so. Henderson later said, “All my friends were right-handed and swung from the right side, so I thought that’s the way it was supposed to be done.”
Rickey Nelson Henley Henderson (born December 25, 1958) is an American retired professional baseball left fielder who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for nine teams from 1979 to 2003, including four separate tenures with his original team, the Oakland Athletics. Nicknamed the “Man of Steal”, he is widely regarded as baseball’s greatest leadoff hitter and baserunner. He holds the major league records for career stolen bases, runs, unintentional walks and leadoff home runs. At the time of his last major league game in 2003, the ten-time American League (AL) All-Star ranked among the sport’s top 100 all- time home run hitters and was its all-time leader in base on balls. In 2009, he was inducted to the Baseball Hall of Fame on his first ballot appearance.
