If you love Rickey, you have to buy this book! A great look at Rickey as a person and a ball player! It makes for an interesting read, and an exciting look at one of the greatest careers of all time. This is a great read for Rickey fans, or for young baseball fans everywhere!

RICKEY HENDERSON IS PROBABLY THE BEST LEADOFF HITTER EVER IN BASEBALL. IN THIS BOOK HE LET'S US KNOW THIS AND MANY OTHER THINGS HE IS GREAT AT. AS A PLAYER RICKEY REALLY WAS A THREAT ON BASE AND AT BAT. IN THIS BOOK WE FIND OUT ALOT MORE ABOUT RICKEY AND HIS OPINIONS ON MANY THINGS. I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE BOTH INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING. RICKEY HAS A VERY LARGE EGO BUT HE CAN BACK IT UP. I REALLY DON'T THINK ALOT OF HIS TEAMATES CARED FOR HIS ARROGANCE AND SELF CENTEREDNESS BUT RICKEY HELPED MAKE HIS TEAMS A WINNER. I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL RICKEY HENDERSON AND BASEBALL FANS WHO APPRECIATE HIS UNIQUE TALENT OF SPEED AND POWER.

This book is a must for all Rickey fans. Henderson holds little back in his autobiography. He's a touch arrogant, but he's earned that right; with the single season set (and likely not to be broken in today's baseball) and the career mark out of reach. If you like Rickey, then you'll like this book.

This book simply shows how good Rickey Henderson is, both on the field and off. He takes you behind the scenes of his 20 year career in the major leagues and what it took for him to get there. From the early little league games in Oakland to his 939th Stolen Base...Rickey Henderson is truly a living legend in what he does....BEING THE GREATEST LEADOFF HITTER OF ALL TIME!!
