The Hall of Fame outfielder (all-time stolen bases and runs scored king as well) got his start in the city where he played parts of 14 seasons. A 1976 alum of Oakland Tech, Henderson was honored in 2009 with a field bearing his name.
Henderson actually had the last name Henley until he was a junior and his mother remarried. Also, he was an All-American running back but chose baseball instead.
