Henderson, Rice elected to Baseball Hall of Fame

I was glad to see Rice make it. Rickey Henderson was a lock. From the Yahoo article:

"Rickey Henderson's first-ballot election into Hall of Fame today is only fitting for the greatest leadoff hitter in baseball history," Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff said. "We are proud that much of Rickey's career was spent here in his hometown of Oakland, where he provided Bay Area fans with so many thrills as perhaps the most exciting player of his generation."

Just for fun, mentally substitute "Rickey Henderson" for "Oakland Athletics owner Lew Wolff." It works!
