Some notable quotes from outfielder and stolen base champion Rickey Henderson, who turns 47 on Christmas Day:
“I don’t want to be one of those great players who never made it to the [World] Series.”
* “If my uniform doesn’t get dirty, I haven’t done anything in the baseball game.”
* “It gave me no chance. He [Nolan Ryan] just blew it [strikeout 5,000] by me. I’ll have another paragraph in the baseball books. I’m already in the books three or four times.”
* “Lou Brock was a great base stealer, but today I am the greatest.”
