Henderson, the brash speedster who shattered stolen base records and redefined baseball’s leadoff position, died on Dec. 20. He was 65.
Known as baseball’s “Man of Steal,” Henderson had a lengthy list of accolades and accomplishments over his nomadic 25-year career — an MVP, 10 All-Star selections, two World Series titles and a Gold Glove award.
