Oh Rickey

Yesterday, the Yankees announced the list of former players who will be attending Old Timer's Day on August 2nd. Since this is the last such event in Yankee Stadium, it's a long list, but one player really stuck out to me, as I think that he could become a problem: Rickey Henderson. I hope that the Yankees have made it clear to Mr. Henderson that he's supposed to be showing up to play for one of the Old Timer's teams, and not for the Yankees themselves. While you don't usually have problems with 49 year-old men showing up to play for a Major League team, with Rickey you never know. Then again, considering the Yankees' current outfield situation, that might not be such a bad thing.
