Rickey Henderson, the Man of Steal, who appropriately told the world after setting baseball’s stolen base record that he was “the greatest of all time”, died on Saturday. He was 65 years old.

Henderson left an indelible mark on the city of Oakland, where he grew up and thrived as the best player to wear an Oakland A's uniform.

Oakland Athletics fans are still reeling from the fact the Major League Baseball team will no longer play a game locally. Now, fans from across the Bay Area are gathering at the Coliseum to mourn the death of baseball legend Rickey Henderson.
