Flashback Friday

My team and my favorite player of all time died this year. RIP. It’s a bit ironic that Henderson was “immortalized” with the naming of Rickey Henderson Field several years ago just to have both go extinct by 2025…

Rickey would have celebrated his 66th birthday two days ago.

Is it still baseball season?

I pretty much lived at this place in the 1980s. Now it is gone. This was the last game I ever saw there.

This year I have paid zero attention to MLB. I couldn’t tell you who is in the playoffs or what round we are in. It’s kind of odd how something that was such a big part of your life can later become so dead to you.

A’s are moving to Vegas

Looks like the last professional team that I had any interest in no longer wants me to be interested…

Happy birthday, Rickey Henderson!

Silicon Graphics Computer Systems and Rickey Henderson

Saw this clip a while ago and figured I should do a screenshot of it and not just because Rickey Henderson was my favorite baseball player ever. I worked at Silicon Graphics (when they were better known as SGI) in the late 1990s. The video was probably from the early ’90s, as the SGI logo changed in the meantime.
