Ricky gone Thrill, Ricky gone.

Whoa. Pneumonia?

DAMN!!! He and Dave Winfield are my favorite players of all time. I remember he broke the stolen base record the same day Nolan Ryan recorded his 7th no hitter. I have the USA Today paper still. We aren't getting any younger folks.

 

[Catman100]

An absolute game changing legend.
RIP

 

[Glenn's Take]

Best leadoff hitter ever.

It was bound to happen given his lifestyle.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

He will be missed, especially by his best buddy

 

[Kaizer Sosay]

RIP, master thief! One of my favorites back when MLB was still watchable.

Whoa. Pneumonia?

Pneumonia is awful. I’ve had it twice when I was young and healthy and it was the most miserable illness I’ve ever had. I lost around 15 pounds in a week.

This is shocking honestly.

Wow. 65 years old - way too close to where I'm at and I feel great. Remember him very well, very disruptive. For those of us who played Strato-Matic baseball, his card during his heyday was ridiculous - half of it was seemingly walks and he ALWAYS got his jump. On the very, very short list of best leadoff hitters ever. Hit for average, walked an insane amount of times (his strike zone was about 12" with his crouch) and, once on base, you might was well go ahead and put him on second because he was gonna get there soon, anyway.
