The #MLBPlayoffs got what they wanted.. a #Game7 extra innings game involving a major market team. No hot take here but @BlueJays won their world series beating the @Yankees
Statement from the New York Yankees:
Rickey Henderson was an all-time great player who commanded our attention like few players before or since, transcending our traditional understanding of how elite and thrilling a single player could be in in the batter's box and on the basepaths.
When he stepped across the white lines, he was magnetic. Opponents, teammates and fans simply couldn't take their eyes off him. Though he spent just four and a half seasons in pinstripes, Rickey left an indelible mark on our record book, and he entertained us not only with his baseball talent, but with a no-nonsense personality and knack for showmanship that were ahead of its time. We will deeply miss Rickey for everything he brought to the game, and we offer our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Pamela, daughters Angela, Adrianna, and Alexis, and all his family and friends.
So basically Mrs Cratchit now has to take a freshly slaughtered 15 to 20 lb goose and pluck all it's feathers, butcher, and debone it. Then she has to prepare and cook it before dinner, all in their very low end 18th century version of an oven on Christmas morning
