This bit is pretty hack. The overuse of this character is a great example of why we have tried to rein in board characters.

Dear Rickey,
Why is the distance between bases 90 feet? Why not 80? Why not 100?
Explain, please.

Its because Rickey Henderson was too fast for the pitchers if it was 80 feet

Its because Rickey Henderson was too fast for the pitchers if it was 80 feetooff, you're not really starting out all that good. No wonder your rookie card went from priceless to worthless.

Rickey,
can u explain why there is no instant replay in baseball?

RickeyHenderson

01-09-2009, 01:41 PM

ooff, you're not really starting out all that good. No wonder your rookie card went from priceless to worthless.

Well, the real answer was boring. Rickey Henderson could give the answer of ...Since the late 1800's in England until baseball was started here there is no documented proof to why the bases are 90 feet. See boring, therefore Rickey Henderson made the right choice

Rickey,
can u explain why there is no instant replay in baseball?

Good one. Baseball actually put in the replay for questionable home run calls. Rickey Henderson believes that baseball is about being pure and rich in tradition. Rickey Henderson feels that baseball would rather let the umpires make the calls, good or bad

RickeyHenderson, are you disappointed you didn't have a cool nickname like Rock?

RickeyHenderson

01-09-2009, 01:46 PM

RickeyHenderson, are you disappointed you didn't have a cool nickname like Rock?

Not at all, Rickey Henderson knew he would have the nick name "The Greatest of all times" in the future so Rickey Henderson was cool with MVP until then

Rickey,

Can you explain why the abbreviation for Runs Batted In is RBI's and not R'sBI? I think it has something to do with the plural possessive, but i'm just not sure.

Rickey Henderson actually agrees with you. Rickey Henderson just say RBI but to each his own

On the subject of blown calls, you stole an amazing 130 bases in 1982.

You were also caught stealing 42 times.

My question is this; How many of those CS calls were actually just the umpires' mistakes?

Oh my friend, Rickey Henderson can not tell you how many of those was blown calls. Rickey Henderson truly believes Rickey Henderson was picker off only 6 times that year

Dear Rickey,
If makin out is first base, touchin a titty is second, and the ol' fingerbang is third (with home obviously being coitus, where do blow jobs fit in?

IMSlacker

01-09-2009, 01:58 PM

RickeyHenderson, how do you feel about baseball statisticians who believe your 42 CS's negated the value of your 130 SB's in 1982?

01-09-2009, 02:00 PM

RickeyHenderson, how do you feel about baseball statisticians who believe your 42 CS's negated the value of your 130 SB's in 1982?

well, in rickey's defense, that does add up to 172 attempts, which is pretty insane (figuring 162 games)

RickeyHenderson

01-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Dear Rickey,

Well in Rickey Henderson's world blow jobs is first base. See Rickey Henderson is the greatest of all times, so Rickey Henderson Gets bj's on first, sex on second, ass sex on 3rd and two chicks is a home run

IMSlacker

01-09-2009, 02:04 PM

well, in rickey's defense, that does add up to 172 attempts, which is pretty insane (figuring 162 games)

Which comes out to a 76% success rate, which is right around the break even point for stolen base success.

All that mean is Rickey Henderson was trying to give Rickey Henderson's team a chance to win. Aint nobody on base as much as Rickey Henderson, so they cant have that many chances to steal

dino_electropolis

right, but more impressive than someone successfully stealing on 7 out of 10 attempts all season......the guy was always a threat, and that changed the strategy everytime he stepped to the plate.

One more question Rickey.

Are you human?

I ask because I have suspicions that you are, in fact, a supernatural being.

Mr. Henderson, who would win in a race? You or Superman?

RickeyHenderson

Mr. Henderson, who would win in a race? You or Superman?

Well sir, Rickey Henderson feels that Rickey Henderson could easily beat Superman. Rickey Henderson trains in the sands of beaches with weights on Rickey Henderson's ankles. Superman isnt a strong trainer

01-09-2009, 04:11 PM

Mr. Henderson, how do you feel about the use of performance enhancing substances in sports? Have you spoken to other athletes regarding this topic? people like say.......Rodney Harrison? PRINT IT!!!!!!!!!!

No, Rickey Henderson has never spoken to athletes. Although Rickey Henderson like Rodney Harrison, Rickey Henderson aint gonna butt in another athletes career. Rickey Henderson only cares about Rickey Henderson's career. But Rickey Henderson does not like steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. Rickey Henderson became the greatest of all times by Rickey Henderson's self

Rickey,

Rickey Henderson has visited that site as well. Rickey Henderson did not know that it would paint Rickey Henderons in a bad light. Rickey Henderson isnt thrilled about that website.

Yeah, but Rickey Henderson started speaking in the 3rd person and has been around a lot longer than him. Rickey Henderson is also the greatest of all times

Actually Rodney Harrison joined the board in 2004. It took you 5 years to steal my bit, Boss

Snoogans

I was just pokin fun at you. i dont mind rickey, but watch what you say about Tiger Woods. Rickey aint never hit one 350+ yards. He aint never won the Masters by 90 shots either.

NO ONE can touch Tiger Woods.

RickeyHenderson

01-09-2009, 04:50 PM

But Rickey Henderson has an issue with Tiger Wood claiming he's the best. Rickey Henderson is the greatest of all time

Snoogans

01-09-2009, 04:54 PM

But Rickey Henderson has an issue with Tiger Wood claiming he's the best. Rickey Henderson is the greatest of all time

No he isnt. He is the greatest base stealer of all time, and the greatest at hitting homers to lead off a game. Other then that, he was avg and is a total douche.

Tiger Woods wins majors, and hits 350+ yards every time. Your old ass probably cant even run 350+ yards.

and FUCK YOU for turning me into my character while posting as myself

Bossanova

01-09-2009, 04:56 PM

HAHA! I think Rickey Henderson was better than you are giving him cwedit for. Most ever runs scored, secnd all time in walks, 3000 hits.

Snoogans

01-09-2009, 04:58 PM

HAHA! I think Rickey Henderson was better than you are giving him cwedit for. Most ever runs scored, secnd all time in walks, 3000 hits.

I actually like Rickey. I love the whole poker thing with the Mets. I just can't sit here and watch someone take shots at the human God known as Tiger Woods.

besides, Id have 3000 hits too if I played 44 seasons

Not with those buckling knees of yours.

Every time you see a curveball it's like your legs are made of jello.

Actually I was always decent at picking up and hitting curves and change ups and shit. My eyesight isnt the best so I always had more trouble catching up to fastballs.

It didnt really matter cause I was alot better at pitching then I was being a position player

RickeyHenderson

01-10-2009, 06:38 AM

why did you keep going back to the a's and yanks ??

Rickey Henderson only played for the Yankees once. Rickey Henderson never had a desire to go back to that fake ass team. Rickey Henderson played for the A's twice and the Padres twice though. Rickey Henderson lov the A's franchise and loved playing in San Diego because Rickey Henderson loves some sun

RickeyHenderson

01-10-2009, 06:45 AM

yea and why didnt you keep fuckin the Mets

look, Rickey Henderson hated that team and that stadium. Rickey Henderson couldn't play baseball Bobby Valentines nor would Rickey Henderson wanna play for Willie Randolph or Art Howe. They is all worse than Rickey Henderson would ever be as a manager
