6. Biggest ego in baseball

… with terrific talent to go with it. Not only the top base stealer of all time, but maybe the best leadoff hitter the game has seen. He may still hold the all time record for 1st inning leadoff homers, although I think Kyle Schwarber is getting close to Henderson’s mark.

Bummer to lose him so soon. RIP Rickey.
