June 24, 1979: Rickey Henderson made his MLB debut for the Oakland A's & stole his 1st base (of his career record 1,406). Rickey was the one of the best players of the #80s and all-time.
For the second time in MLB history, the first pitcher in the majors to reach 10 wins (Aaron Ashby) did so while having all 10 come in relief.
The other was in 1959 with Roy Face.
