Babe Ruth is the greatest of all-time. He has a candy bar named after him. There's no Ricky Henderson Bar - but Ricky thinks there should be....
ReplyDeleteSee, Ricky never enough RF, Ricky played more centerfield and leftfield since Rickey had a glove on his left hand.
ReplyDeleteBut if Ricky played rf, Ricky might have shown he was the greatest of all-time.
Ricky can through fast, almost as fast as Ricky can run with both hands, but they wouldn't let Ricky take two gloves in the field, so Ricky wasn't allowed to play RF.
ReplyDeleteRicky did drink like the Babe and did more coke than the Babe though - so Ricky would've been the greatest of all-time.
