Oakland Arena Hosts Rickey Henderson's Public Celebration

The Oakland Athletics have announced a public celebration of life for the late Rickey Henderson, scheduled for February 1 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Oakland Arena. Henderson, who passed away at the age of 65 on December 20 due to pneumonia, is remembered as one of baseball's greatest players, particularly for his record-setting career as a leadoff hitter and stolen base leader. His accolades include 10 All-Star selections, two World Series titles, and induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. Ticket registration for the event will begin on January 20. Henderson's impact on the game and his legacy as a beloved figure in Oakland sports history are being celebrated, especially after his recent appearances during the A's final games in Oakland. He is survived by his family, including three daughters.
