Noooooooooooooo!

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Fuuuu
One of the 🐐's
I not only got to see him, over and over and over again, but I saw him raise a base after breaking a record. I'd have to research the year and home game to figure out which one, but, man… that's too soon. Got pics and autographs in the collection.
RIP

The Giants fan in me has to say it......roided to tha GILLS tho. Fastest man I've ever seen on the bases. It was crazy. Non stop steals in his prime. Roided baseball was a special event tbh.Dude would bunt and get an automatic hit . Tyreek Hill like speed.
I don't remember the last time I saw Rickey, but he looked like he could still suit up as a pinch runner and steal 30 bases.
Oh no. RIP Ricky.

A's are my AL #1 team. I got to see over half of the Oakland home games during his MVP season.

Great memories!
There will never be another player like him. Talent or personality. Sad sad loss as an A's fan and a baseball fan.

RIP
One of my favorite players ever. The guy was so unique in his speed and power, and while his stolen base record is unlikely to be broken unless the game shifts strategy immensely, it's actually his record of most non-intentional walks that really impresses me. The most dangerous man ever on the basepaths and yet forced pitchers to put him on base free when they least wanted more than anyone else.

RIP Rickey.

Not roids, coke.
One of my favorite players when I was a kid. Seeing him take those huge leads off first base always looked impossible, but he always got there.

RIP to the greatest lead off ever💯
