    Rickey has died at age 65. A definite shocker.

    Yeah, just read that, Mess...Greatest leadoff batter and base stealer of all time, and it's not even close.

    The greatest leadoff hitter of all time and led all of MLB with runs scored!

    1985 I got the shake Ricky hand and obtained his autograph at Disneyland Convention center, for the LA sports collectors convention!
