Ricky is gone too soon. A helluva player and a bona fide character. It would be impossible to design a better lead off hitter.

Didn't he speak mostly in third person?
Someone from that era mostly did, it was quite amusing. Just can't put my finger on who it was.

Got to see him play spring games. Loved harrassing Jackson and Henderson loved us for it.
Had a ball he signed "Bug Jackson" R. Henderson. He had a great laugh.
Dog ate it.

Bo Jackson is another person who uses third person often. If there was ever a perfect athlete, it was Bo.

Ricky-isms always consisted of 3 people in Ricky’s life….Me, Myself & I. What a character

He was awesome to watch run . Never a dull moment and what made the game of baseball great!

A two way player that good is impressive. Bo and Deon played two sports and excelled at both. Even Jordan couldn’t do that. It’s incredible when you think about it.

Deion is one of my favorite athletes of all time. Proving to be a great coach also. There is a video of Hunter dunking a basketball on ESPN. I bet that kid would excell at any sport. mtmuley
