Rickey Henderson!

So, Rickey Henderson got voted into the Hall of Fame today. That is not shocking, he is one of the greatest players of all time. However, I came across the following article, and found it particularly amusing. Click the link below for the full article.

Golden Baseball League Makes Rickey Henderson $1M Hall of Fame Offer

The Golden Baseball League (GBL) announced today that they have offered professional baseball superstar Rickey Henderson $1M if he elects to be enshrined in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown as a San Diego Surf Dawg.

"Rickey played his final professional season in the Golden Baseball League in 2005 as a key member of the championship winning San Diego Surf Dawgs," said Golden Baseball League CEO David Kaval. "Cooperstown is the National Baseball Hall of Fame for professional players and the San Diego Surf Dawgs were Rickey's last professional team and one of only three teams, along with the 1989 Oakland Athletics and 1993 Toronto Blue Jays, that Rickey won a championship with. We stood by Rickey in 2005 when no major league team would sign him and continue to support him with this offer. We are confident that Rickey will be a first ballot selection and we look forward to seeing a bronzed Surf Dawg cap displayed on his Hall of Fame plaque."

I really want him to go in as a member of the Oakland A's, of course. But this would be very funny.
