Somehow, I've been blessed to be able to have the young spirit inside - not feel like every year I get a year older. I feel like every year I get a year younger. I don't wake up in the morning with aches and pains.
Rickey Henderson
My impact on the game was going out there and making things happen.
Rickey Henderson
I patterned myself after Reggie Jackson. I wanted to have that same swing and hit some homeruns. When I was down in A-ball, I was trying to be Reggie Jackson and I was striking out all the time. And I was like, 'This isn't the way Reggie is doing it, so I got to change.'
Rickey Henderson
I love the game and I wanted to continue playing. It came to a time that I had to stop.

To all the kids out there: Follow your dream. Believe in your dream. Because dreams do come true.
Rickey Henderson
It gave me no chance. He (Nolan Ryan) just blew it (strikeout #5,000) by me. But its an honor. I'll have another paragraph in all the baseball books. I'm already in the books three or four times.
Rickey Henderson
I can still steal a base anytime I get ready.
