Rickey Henderson A Steal for the Mets

Submitted by Sandy, Aug 16, 2007 23:02

I have had the pleasure of knowing Ricky personally, and know that he is a man of integrity. When he spends time in a hotel bar between games, he drinks only orange juice, and refuses to sign autographs for kids who come into the bar where they do not belong. He tells the kids "I'll be glad to sign at an appropriate place and time, but you don't belong in a bar, particularly at this hour."
