[Boone]

He’ll live on forever with his work

 

[Kel Varnsen]

One of the greatest voices of all time. What makes it even more amazing is he had a terrible stutter when he was a kid and was supposedly functionally mute for the first 8 years of his life. I know we are all mostly old on this board, but never let anyone tell you that you can’t do anything. This man was living proof that his weakness and frankly his handicap could be overcome and turned into one of the greatest voices of all time.

Ricky Henderson, 65

 

[SkinsOrlando]

Rickey was a true, once in a lifetime player. His ability to get on base and then make every base hit, every walk almost a guaranteed double when everyone knew he was stealing is a thing of legends.

Ricky loved him some Ricky.

Amazing leadoff hitter, who still holds record for most home runs in leadoff position.
