Henderson & Rice Together Forever in Hall of Fame

[JonLP24]

Rickey Henderson knew what was expected every time he batted. So, too, did Jim Rice.

"Some way, I was going to scratch to get on base to steal that base," Henderson said. "I steal that base, my day was good. My pride and joy was coming across the plate."

Said Rice: "Believe me, I wasn't paid to walk. I was paid to try to do some damage."

Each player — Henderson, the quintessential leadoff man with an infectious smile, and Rice, the consummate power hitter with an icy glare — inflicted more than his share of damage on opponents, and they will be duly recognized for their considerable career accomplishments Sunday when they are inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
