Video: Rickey Continuously Being Rickey

Some days, after you wake up, you get dressed, eat breakfast, and then go take your place as a productive member of society. Other days — instead of all that stuff — you spend the first two or so hours of your life wandering without direction through YouTube’s maze of videos.

This post is a product of the latter.

What you have here, bespectacled readership, is an interview that Mike and Mike (of the eponymous radio program) did with Rickey Henderson, in which they ask Henderson to either confirm or deny legends about the Hall of Famer.

So far as videos go, it’s probably not what you’d call a Perfect 10. Mike and Mike, whatever their other virtues, are what a person smarter than me might call “garrulous.” Henderson, though, is hard not to enjoy — as per usual.

Notable moments:

0:42 Rickey Henderson pronounces the names James Brown and Luther Vandross, an angel gets its wings.

1:06 Henderson confirms that he was once given a million-dollar bonus check that, instead of cashing, he just framed and hung up on his wall.

2:28 Henderson gives a borderline logical — and nearly touching — explanation for the check incident.
