RIP Rickey Henderson. Even as a young Red Sox fan, Rickey was my favorite. My dad @nickcafardo got me his jersey and instead of Henderson had “Ben” written on the back. 😀

At the @baseballhall dinner when Dad was inducted I got to tell Rickey that story as I sat next to him. Great full circle moment
