Episode 47 -- Howard Bryant

Rickey Henderson is one of the greatest baseball players of all time, unquestionably the greatest leadoff hitter ever, yet the Hall of Fame outfielder is known just as much for Rickey Stories (both fact and fiction) as he is for his on-field dominance.

Author Howard Bryant spent five years exploring this complex individual in his 10th book: "Rickey: The Life and Legend of an American Original."

We detail the career arc of how the city of Oakland influenced Henderson's early life, how he transformed from a reputation of a selfish star in New York to the most dominant player in baseball in his second stint with the hometown A's, and how he's morphed into a beloved character where the stories are now a charming part of his legacy.
