Rickey Henderson

Rickey Henderson,  the all-time stolen base king and 2009 Cooperstown inductee,  has died of pneumonia.  He was 65.

It may be a controversial choice to some,  but if I was to manage a team of MLB's all-time greatest players,  I'd have Henderson at the top of the lineup. 

In my mind,  there was been no greater leadoff hitter in the long history of the sport. 1406 stolen bases. 3,055 hits and 2190 walks.  297 home runs and 510 doubles. 1,115 RBI's to go along with a record 2,295 runs. An OBP of .401 and more than 111 career WAR.

My word. 

I still remember the day in 1982 when he broke the record for most stolen bases in a season,  right here in Milwaukee.  I seem to remember my Dad thought Rickey came off as a pompous here that day,  and maybe he was; sometimes humility takes awhile to catch up with immense talent. 

RIP Rickey. You were spectacular. 

Royal Match

Words cannot express how much I loathe this level. It manages to be both maddeningly difficult and equally boring.

Timestalkers

Time Stalkers is a harmless and entertaining made for TV movie from back in 1987. A historian, played by William Devane, purchases a photo from the old West that seems to feature a modern weapon.  From this,  he decides the picture can best be explained by time travel. Naturally.  This earns him the attention of a fellow professor 600 years in the future, who enlists him in preventing a rogue time traveler from altering history. 

Look,  there's enough plot holes in this film to sail the sixth fleet through with room to spare. The special effects are rough to watch,  laughable even,  and the climatic fight is ludicrous.

But. . .

Somehow,  even given all that,  it was pretty entertaining in a harmless, bubblegum way. I wouldn't recommend seeking this out,  but if you stumble across it and have 90 minutes to spare, you could do worse.
