As we all began to hear of Rickey Henderson's passing this weekend as the story ran on all the national media outlets.. Rickey was a great HS baseball player at Oakland Tech from 1974 to 1976. OAL's HS began in 10th grade. As well as Oakland city league baseball youth programs (Babe Ruth, Pony, Young America, etc). Similar to Oakland basketball tradition of great players on to NBA, Oakland has long history of great baseball players. During Rickey HS playing days, there was Dave Stewart/St Liz, Gary Pettis/Castlemont, Lloyd Mosby/Oakland High to name a few.
