Baseball Hall Of Fame Class Of 2009 - Ricky Henderson Tops The List

ADVERTISEMENT

Who made the Baseball Hall Of Fame Class Of 2009? Take a look at 3 of the greatest legends of this beloved sport who made this year's Baseball Hall Of Fame!


Ricky Henderson - (511 Votes) One of my all time favorite players. I admired his play when I was younger (I even tried to emulate his still in little league....as my grandfather continues to remind me of!).

Here is an excerpt from ESPN: "Henderson, 50, will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame with former Boston slugger Jim Rice on Sunday in Cooperstown, and there's not enough room on a plaque to do justice to his achievements. Henderson is baseball's career leader with 1,406 stolen bases and 2,295 runs, and ranks second to Barry Bonds with 2,190 walks. His résumé includes a Most Valuable Player Award, 10 All-Star Game appearances, a Gold Glove, 3,055 career hits and the most leadoff homers (81) of any player in history."

Jim Rice - (412 Votes)

Joe Gordon - (Veterans Committee)
