The 'First ballot Baseball Hall of Famers' quiz

The baseball world lost a legend over the weekend with the passing of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson at the age of 65.

Henderson was one of the longest-tenured players in MLB history, playing for nine teams over 25 seasons, and became known as the Man of Steal for his speed and savvy on the basepaths.

He was a productive hitter as well, mashing 297 career home runs and driving in 1,115 runs with a .279 career batting average.

For multiple generations of baseball fans, Rickey Henderson was the gold standard of base stealing and leadoff hitting," MLB commissioner Robert Manfred said.

"Rickey was one of the most accomplished and beloved Athletics of all-time.

He also made an impact with many other clubs during a quarter-century career like no other.

Which brings us to todays quiz.

Henderson is one of the most accomplished players to play baseball with 10 All-Star selections, three silver sluggers, an MVP in 1990 and two World Series championships.

Hes also the all-time leader in stolen bases with 1,406 and runs scored with 2,295.
