It is with great sadness that we mourn the passing of baseball legend, Baseball Hall of Fame and Bay Area Sports Hall of Fame (BASHOF) member Richey Henderson, who passed away at the age of 65. A true icon of the game, Henderson was celebrated for his unparalleled skill as a leadoff hitter and base-stealing prowess, leaving an indelible mark on the sport. His contributions to baseball went beyond his remarkable records; he was a beloved figure in the Bay Area whose passion for the game inspired generations. Richey’s legacy will forever be remembered by fans, players, and the baseball community, and his impact on the game will endure for years to come.
