Best all around baseball player to ever play the game and a good dude in real life. RIP Rickey, you were a Legend in & out of the game. Thank you for shining 🙏
Oakland legend dies. The greatest leadoff hitter of all time. He could destroy a game like no one else. It's been a bad year for Oakland Athletics fans
May he rest in eternal peace. He was amazing!
A terrible day for the game of baseball. Truly one of the great athletes of his time. I'm not sure if his stolen base record will be broken anytime soon. Former yankee who I believe spent 5 years with the team as well. May he rest in peace.
RIP Oakland Legend. Greatest lead off hitter of all time. He could disrupt a game like no other. It's been a crappy year for us Oakland Athletics fans
Loved watching him play. RIP Ricky. ❤️
Don’t do drugs kids.
Rest In Peace Legend 🙏
