🏃💨 BY FAR THE GREATEST.
Rickey Henderson didn’t just break the stolen base record—
he broke the damn scale.
1,406 stolen bases.
1,406 insults to catchers.
1,406 times the pitcher blinked and it was already too late.

“think about this one”
🟩 Once referred to himself as the GOAT while breaking the record:
“Today, I am the greatest of all time.” – Rickey Henderson
And he wasn’t wrong. Rickey had speed, swagger, and soundbites.
He talked trash, backed it up, and made every walk to first feel like the calm before the storm.
⚠️ Modern base stealers: don’t even try it.
Rickey is on a mountain of bags you’ll never reach.
🗣️ “Ain’t nobody stealing THESE away from me!”
